Any vehicle accident that results in death, substantial bodily injury, or $750 or more of property damage must be reported to Nevada law enforcement agencies such as the Metro Las Vegas police (LVMPD). If the police respond to the accident scene and file an accident report on their own, you are not required to do so. If law enforcement personnel are not present at the collision, however, you have ten days from the date of the incident to file a Nevada DMV SR-1 accident claim.
If you are physically unable to file a report following a vehicle accident in Nevada, you are not required to do so until you have recovered. If you do not own the car and are incapacitated, the owner is obligated to submit the report within ten days after becoming aware of the incident. It's critical to note that failure to file an accident report if necessary will result in a one-year driver's license suspension. Submitting a fraudulent claim is a felony, punishable by up to 364 days in jail and/or $2,000 in fines.
