The main idea is that there’s a monetary threshold that triggers a formal accident report to law enforcement. In this context, the threshold is two thousand dollars of property damage. When damage reaches or exceeds that amount, you’re required to report the crash promptly so authorities can document and investigate it, and so insurers can process claims. If there’s injury or death, you must report regardless of damage amount. Below the threshold, a report to police isn’t required, though you should still exchange information with the other party and follow any local duties.
