Nevada Crash Reporting Rules

You must report a crash if anyone is hurt or killed, or if the apparent damage to any one vehicle or piece of property reaches $750. The word doing the work is "apparent": it is the damage as it looks at the scene, not a figure you settle on later, so err toward reporting when a bumper or panel is involved.

The report is due within 10 days of the crash. If a vehicle was damaged you also attach a repair estimate or a total-loss statement from an established repair garage, a licensed insurance adjuster, or a licensed appraiser.

Your report goes to the Nevada DMV. A police officer who investigates a qualifying crash writes a separate report of their own, filed with the Department of Public Safety, which then forwards a copy to the DMV. An officer attending the scene does not remove your obligation to file.
