In West Virginia, the reporting requirements for traffic accidents mandate that drivers must report any accident resulting in injury, death, or property damage exceeding $500 to the local police, sheriff, or state police immediately. Additionally, drivers must file a written report with the West Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) within 10 days if law enforcement does not investigate the accident. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in penalties, including fines and license suspension. For comprehensive guidance, always refer to the latest West Virginia traffic laws or consult with legal professionals.
