In Connecticut, the reporting requirements for traffic accidents mandate that drivers must report any accident resulting in injury, death, or property damage exceeding $1,000 to the local police, state police, or the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) within five days. Failure to report can lead to penalties, including fines and license suspension. It’s crucial to gather all necessary information at the scene, such as the other driver’s details, witness statements, and photographic evidence, to ensure accurate reporting. For more detailed guidance, consult the Connecticut DMV or a legal professional specializing in traffic laws.
