OREGON TRAFFIC CRASH AND INSURANCE REPORT
Tear this sheet off your report, read and carefully follow the directions.
ONLY drivers involved in a crash resulting in any of the following MUST file a Crash & Insurance Report:
•
Damage to your vehicle is over $2500
•
Damage to any one person’s property over $2500
•
Injury (No matter how minor)
Any vehicle has damage over $2500 and any vehicle is
•
•
Death
towed from the scene as a result of damages
Oregon law requires these reports be filed within 72 hours of the crash. If you are not able to file within the 72 hours, submit it
as soon as possible. If you fail to report the crash to DMV, it may result in suspension of your driving privileges. If the police
department files a police report, you are still required to file your own Crash and Insurance Report with DMV. When
required to report, even if you are licensed in another state, or you are not an Oregon resident, you still must file a
report with Oregon DMV. DMV does not determine fault in a crash, but does post the crash to the driving record of those
drivers required to report, unless the vehicle is parked. If you have questions, please call DMV Crash Reporting Unit at
(503) 945-5098.
