When do I need to file a traffic accident report?
The driver of any vehicle involved in an accident resulting in injury to or death of any person or damage to the property of any one person to an apparent extent equal to or greater than $1000.00 shall, within twenty-four hours after such accident, make a written report of such accident to police. Nothing prohibits accident reports from being filed by drivers where damage to property is less than $1000.00. If police do not investigate the accident, you are still required to file a report of such accident. You may pick up an accident report at the Port Townsend Police Department during normal business hours.
