Calling the police after a car accident is always a prudent decision. While drivers are not legally required to contact the police if no injuries have occurred, an injury can, as stated previously, not be readily apparent in many cases. Alerting the police ensures a record is established, which can be invaluable evidence in a personal injury claim. When speaking with the police, be sure to describe the nature of the accident (hit-and-run, multi-car, rollover, etc.) and include as much detail as possible.
