Page OverviewAccidents happen to all of us. Most of the time, state or local law enforcement works motor vehicle accidents, and submits forms to the appropriate authorities.
But if you are involved in a wreck that law enforcement does not work, you're required to submit a report to the Department of Public Safety if injury, death, or property damage over $300 occurs as a result of the accident.
Penalties
Oklahoma assesses penalties if you fail to report an accident. Your license could be suspended for up to 30 days, so be sure to report the accident as soon as possible.
Check out the Oklahoma Driver's Manual for instructions on what to do in case of a collision to help avoid penalties.
Legal Advice
In certain situations, such as accidents that involve personal injury or one or more persons driving under the influence, you may feel confident seeking legal advice―and rightly so.
Conveniently, we provide information about attorneys who specialize in these kinds of cases.
