If you get into a car accident in Reno in which property damage, injury, or death occurred, then you must report your accident to the Reno Police or the nearest office of the Nevada Highway Patrol. The best, safest, and most conscientious way to do so is to call 911 from the accident scene.
We always advise people to err on the side of caution. If the accident results in any property damage, or even the slightest injury, report it.
