"California law requires traffic accidents on a California street / highway or private property to be reported to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) within 10 days if there was an injury, death or property damage in excess of $750. Untimely reporting could result in DMV suspending a driver's license.....
The law requires the driver to file this SR-1 Form with DMV regardless of fault. This report must be made in addition to any other report filed with a law enforcement agency, insurance company, or the California Highway Patrol (CHP) as their reports do not satify the filing requirement."
Print, complete and mail this form to the DMV address listed on the form.
