Legal Question
When do you need to report an accident?
For a low speed accident where one car rear-ends another, do vehicle damage was done and at the time no one was thought to be injured. But 7 days later the driver of the car hit says they have neck pain (which was not told to the other driver till 4 days after the pain started). Phone numbers were exchanged when the accident happened, but not insurance information.
If there is a injury in an accident I was told you have 10 days to report it. Does this need to be reported by the uninjured and/or the injured driver, since the injury was mentioned 8 days after it happened? What are the legal ramifications if not reported in the ten days since the accident?
