What is a Reportable Accident Under North Carolina Law? A reportable accident is a crash that results in: A person's injury or death; Property damage of at least $1,000; or. Property damage to a vehicle seized in forfeiture in an impaired driving case.
This is because not every accident is considered “reportable”. Under North Carolina law, an individual only must report an accident to law enforcement if: A person is injured or killed. There is property damage of at least $1,000.
