Auto Accident
Do I have to report the accident?
Yes. First, you may need to call the CHP or the local police.
Second, report the accident to your insurance company. Ask your agent what forms
you should fill out and to help you make other necessary reports on the accident.
Third, you and the other driver must report the accident to the DMV within 10 days
if: (a) the damage to either car is more than $750 or (b) anyone is injured or killed in
the accident.
