In West Virginia, law requires that you immediately notify law enforcement of an accident that results in any injuries or at least $1,000 in damages. If this happens, the officer will interview all involved parties and witnesses within 24 hours and will file a report within 10 days.
If the accident isn’t serious enough to warrant calling the police (no injuries and less than $1,000 in damages), then it’s up to the drivers to file their own report if there are damages of over $500. Drivers will fill out an AR-13 form (word document) which can be turned in to your local police station. They also have these forms available at police stations if you prefer to pick one up to fill out rather than printing it.
