It really just depends on the type of accident and severity of damage or when injury has occurred. Most accidents do not require a police report.

AnswerIt is usually required. If it is a small ding type, less than $100 damage, there is usually no need. But insurance companies require a police report. And if you want to insure that there is no problem with a later lawsuit, it is a good idea to get the accident documented.
