When Should I Call the Police?
After an accident, especially a minor one, it may be questionable whether to call the police. However, calling the police ensures a fair and balanced report that lawyers can use later. It can also be useful determining liability.
Not every accident requires police at the scene, but they must be called if any of the following is true:
- Anyone was injured or killed
- Damages look to be over $1000 dollars, or there’s damage to the public or private property
- A pedestrian or cyclist is involved
- A driver is impaired
- A driver is uninsured or unlicensed
Whether it is an accident worth calling the police or not, remaining calm, level headed, and alert is important no matter how difficult it may seem.
