Application for Oregon Traffic Accident and Insurance Report
Another common form is the Application for Oregon Traffic Accident and Insurance Report. You are required to file an Application for Oregon Traffic Accident and Insurance Report to the Oregon DMV within 72 hours under certain conditions. These conditions are:
- Damage to any vehicle is more than $2,500 (even if your vehicle was the only one in the crash)
- Any vehicle is towed from the scene
- Injury or death resulted from this accident
- Damages to anyone’s property other than a vehicle involved in this accident exceeds $2,500
If you do not file an Application for Oregon Traffic Accident and Insurance Report when you are required to do so, the Oregon DMV is required by law to issue a suspension notice. In the event that you were in an accident where the damages were less than $2,500, you can report it to the Oregon DMV if the other party does not have insurance. You should note on the accident report that it doesn’t meet mandatory reporting requirements in this case.
