Do you have to report car accidents to police?

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.
