Of course. And, he didn't need the BA report to do so. You need to assume you will be charged, and possibly sued by the other party. Make sure you notify your insurance company and file an accident report with the state. If you decide to get legal help in defending the criminal charges, feel free to contact me, if the case is in SoCal courts.
