Legal Question in Traffic Law in New Jersey

auto accident

my daughter was involved in an auto accident -pulling out of a parking space - another vehicle pulled out at the same time and the vehicles collided - my vehicle damage is driver side rear bumper and other vehicle driver side front door. who's at fault? no police report filed - what are the consequences of not filing a report? no report because the girls are friends - will any tickets be issued to either driver since the accident wasn't reported?

There are some options, but generally you should report the damage to your respective insurance companies. Give our offices a call, because it depends what your respective coverage is.

Re: auto accident

Not reporting an accident where there is more than $500 in damage COULD result in a ticket being issued under NJSA 39:4-130. This ticket has a fine between $30 and $100. Of course, you need someone to alert the police to the fact that this was not reported in the first place.

Re: auto accident

If no one reported it, who will ever know about it?
