How You Can Report A Car Accident In New York

It is required by law, if you are a driver in an accident, to report this accident to the authorities in New York, especially if there is a fatality or an injury that has happened. You are responsible as the driver for reporting this, especially if you were at fault for what has happened. However, you should never rely upon the person who caused the accident to actually report.

In some cases, the accident may have led to property damage, and the driver at fault needs to make a report, whether the other person is there or not. The accident damage report should only be made, however, if there is over $1000 in estimated damage.

A driver has a total of 10 days to report an accident in a written form. If there are injuries, which may prevent this person from reporting the accident, there are no laws regarding when they should get this done. It is recommended by lawyers to report this soon after the person injured has recovered enough to do so.

  • I am writing this letter to say how much I appreciate your services pertaining to my case. Your injury attorney took a hands-on approach and left me fully informed at all times as to where my case was going as well as how much ground we had to cover; leaving the final decisions in my hands but making sure that I knew all of the risks involved in the choices. I have dealt with a few law firms in my life on various different cases and this is the first time that I never had to call and/or track down my lawyer… because of this, I have and will continue to recommend Cellino Law to my friends and associates.
