No universally applicable answer. All states and municipalities are different.
Best advice: Whenever there is a car accident, no matter how minor one thinks or doesn't think the damage is, always ... ALWAYS ... call the police and have a report filed. In today's cars, a little "bump" can turn into major damage later on ... get that police report ... it may be an inconvenience at the time, but you will thank yourself for doing that later on if problems develop.

as long as it takes for you to write your statement
In Nebraska, you must report a car accident to the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) if it results in injury, death, or property damage exceeding $1,000. This report should be filed within 10 days of the accident. If you are involved in an accident with an uninsured motorist, you should also report it to the DMV. Always check for any specific local requirements or updates to the law.
No he was not. That report was fictitious.
of course you should report an accident even if your car is damaged its almost like a hit and run.
If you are referring to STATE LAW requirement to report it to the authorities, I believe it is within 24 hours. If you are referring to your insurance company's requirement, you must contact your carrier for that infomration or read your policy.
No.
