In Rhode Island, the reporting requirements for traffic accidents are as follows: If you’re involved in a traffic accident resulting in injury, death, or property damage exceeding $1,000, you must report the incident to the local police department, the Rhode Island State Police, or the nearest law enforcement agency immediately. Additionally, you must file a written report with the Rhode Island Division of Motor Vehicles within 21 days if the accident involves injury, death, or significant property damage. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in penalties, including fines and license suspension. Always ensure you gather all necessary information at the scene, such as the other driver’s contact and insurance details, to facilitate accurate reporting. For more detailed guidance, consult the Rhode Island DMV or a legal professional.
