Reporting a Collision

If the accident is minor (under $2000) simply exchange insurance information (pink slip) and take a picture of their drivers license. If there are any witnesses, ask for their contact information. As with all accidents, take pictures of the scene. The Police will not create a report for small accidents.

If the accident is over $2000 in damages to both parties, call the Police and explain that an accident occurred. Let them know where it happened. Although it may seem very serious, this is a normal part of the process. They will arrive and create an incident report. Ask the officer for an incident report number as you will need this in the future. Take pictures of the scene and take the other parties insurance information and drivers license.

If the incident happened on a parking lot, in most cases , both parties will be at fault. Take pictures, exchange information and have the Police make a report. As mentioned above, if the damages are under $2000, there will be no report made, you can simply proceed and call the insurance company.

You should report a collision to the collision reporting center as soon as you can. If you are not able to report it right away, report it within 48 hours.
