1. Do I have to fill out an accident report?

If you are involved in an accident where there is an injury or death to any person, or damage to either vehicle or other property in excess of $500.00, you must complete a Vehicle Collision Report within 4 days.  The report prepared by the Police Department is different from the state collision report.  The vehicle collision report is for citizens to fill out.  The Bellevue Police Department can provide you with a Vehicle Collision Report form and assist you in completing it.  You do not need this report if any Law Enforcement officer investigates the collision.  You also do not need to complete this report if your car was parked unoccupied, you were using a wheel chair, or walking at the time of the accident. 
2.  Should I always call the police to an accident scene?

The Bellevue Police Department will respond if called to any accident scene.  We will take a report, generally, if the same circumstances exist as described in our response to question one.  We will include in the report whether the accident involved unoccupied parked cars, bicycles, wheelchairs, and pedestrians.  It is recommended that you call the police department when the other driver appears intoxicated, is from another state or country, or leaves the scene without giving you any information.  In any case, if you feel you need assistance, please call us.
3.  Does the Bellevue Police Department investigate accidents on private property?

Because of personnel limitations, we cannot investigate private property accidents.  The only exceptions are private property accidents where a death has occurred, someone is seriously injured, one of the drivers is intoxicated, or hit and runs where suspect can be identified.  If you need help, please call us; we can still provide some form of assistance. 
4.   Should I move my car after an accident?

This will depend a great deal on the circumstances.  Your safety and the safety of others is always the first consideration.  It is recommended that you not move your car if anyone is injured or if it is unsafe to drive.  If your accident is minor and your car is safe to drive, you should consider moving your car to a safe location. 
5.  What information must I provide to the other driver?Washington State Law requires that you give your name, address, vehicle license, insurance company, and insurance policy number.  The Bellevue Police Department has "exchange of information forms," which the Police Officer responding to your accident will give you and the other driver(s) to complete and exchange. 
6.  What if the other driver has no auto insurance?

In most cases, Washington State Law requires drivers to have at least liability insurance and to carry proof of insurance with them.  One exception to this law is motorcycles.  If the other driver doesn't have insurance, you should notify your insurance company.  The police department is not able to help you collect for damages.  Your insurance company and/or your attorney are your best resources to help you collect for damages. 
7.  Do I need to call my insurance company if I am not at fault?

This decision is up to you. 
8.  Will there be any citations issued?

As a general rule, the Bellevue Police Department does not issue citations at the collision scene.  Accident investigators usually need more time after they leave the scene to review the evidence and determine the cause of the accident.  Any citations that are issued will normally be sent through the mail. 
9.  Who pays for the tow if my car is not drivable?You should work directly with the tow company and your insurance company to arrange for tow payment.  The Bellevue Police Department does not pay for towing of cars from accident scenes.   
10.  Do I get a copy of the accident report? 
State law regulates who can get copies of accident reports.  Generally speaking, you and your insurance company can get a copy of the Police Accident report.  While at the scene, the officer investigating your accident will obtain a police case number and provide this to you.  To obtain a copy of your accident report, call the Police Records Section at 452-6917 and request a copy.  The records section is located at City Hall, 450 110th Ave. N.E.
