When do I have to report an accident?

The State of Rhode Island requires that a report be filed in any accident that results in death or personal injury, or where damage exceeds one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) to any one vehicle. All drivers involved must file a report regardless of who was injured or who’s car is damaged. Parties to an accident are given twenty-one (21) days to file a report with the State of Rhode Island. State accident report forms are available at the station anytime.

The State of Rhode Island has an online version of the State Accident Report here: http://www.dmv.ri.gov/documents/forms/accident/Accident_Report.pdf
