Should I Report to the Police for Minor Car Scratches?

[BrodyAnn]

It is necessary to report to the police for minor car scratches. Below are the specific details about reporting minor car scratches to the insurance company: Precautions: After the accident occurs, you should immediately call your insurance company. If the accident involves injuries, you must also notify the traffic police department to come to the scene to determine liability, otherwise the insurance company will not cover the claim. When the insurance company personnel arrive at the scene, the car owner should present the insurance documents, driver's license, vehicle license, and ID card. Photographic Evidence: Whether photographic evidence is required for car insurance mainly depends on the type of insurance purchased by the car owner. For example, for car damage, scratches, or glass insurance, photographic proof is necessary to show that the vehicle had no pre-existing damage before the insurance was taken. Six photos are required: one each from the front left, front right, rear left, and rear right at a 45° angle, one of the vehicle identification number (VIN), and one with the owner and the car together. Each photo must include that day's newspaper, clearly showing the date.
