I have been involved in a motor vehicle accident. Do I need to notify the police?
Provided you have exchanged driver and vehicle information with the party(ies) involved, you do not have to notify the police.

Do I need to file an Accident and Insurance Report with DMV?
ONLY drivers involved in an accident resulting in any of the following MUST file an Accident & Insurance Report to DMV within 72 hours of the accident.

Damage to your vehicle is over $1,500
Injury (No matter how minor)

Damage to any one person's property over $1,500

These forms are available at the Tigard Police Department Lobby, 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223. The Police lobby is open daily from 8 AM to 11 PM. We will provide a self-addressed envelope for mailing the report to DMV. We are no longer able to accept DMV accident reports.

Accident forms are also available at most local police stations as well as at all DMV offices.

Accident Report Forms are available on line from DMV: www.odot.state.or.us/forms/dmv/32.pdf. However since the original DMV form is 3-part carbon form, you should make photo copies to keep for your own records and/or your insurance company.
