Some accidents do not need to be reported. Whether you are required to report your accident will depend on the damage and if anyone was injured. Under Fl. Stat. § 316.065, any accident that causes the damage of $500 or more or that involves injuries must be reported to the local police as soon as possible. If you call 911, that call satisfies the requirement. You do not need to file a separate report if an officer was sent to the scene and files a report. If your accident involved injuries or death, property damage of more than $500, was a hit-and-run, or involved a drunk driver, you must submit a crash report to the Florida Highway Patrol within 10 days if the officer does not file a report under Fl. Stat. § 316.066. You can complete and submit a crash report on the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles website.
