Re: report to insurance company

If you are in an accident you should always report it to your insurance company if you or anyone may have been hurt. Tha will cover no-fault medical bills for you. If you don't have property damage insurance it will still cover you for liability if you get sued. If you wait too long the company can disclaim coverage.

As to property damage report it to the other guy's company if it was his fault and you have no coverage.
