Car permit · Crashes and insurance
After a traffic crash, in which case must you file a written report with the DMV?
Correct answer: When property damage is over $1,500 or anyone is injured.
Answer options
- AWhen property damage is over $250 or anyone is injured
- BWhen property damage is over $1,500 or anyone is injured Correct
- COnly when a driver involved in the crash is hurt
Why
A written report is required when a crash causes more than $1,500 in property damage or injures anyone; an injury alone is enough, whatever the damage. A crash with only a few hundred dollars of damage and no injuries does not call for one.
