The Oregon DMV Accident Report form is a crucial document for drivers involved in a traffic crash within the state. If you find yourself in a situation where your vehicle sustains damage exceeding $2,500, or if there are injuries, you must file this report within 72 hours. The form requires detailed information about the crash, including the date, location, and time, as well as specifics about the vehicles and drivers involved. Completing both sides of the form is essential, and if additional vehicles are part of the incident, a supplemental report is available. The DMV does not assign fault but will record the incident on the driving records of those required to report. It is important to provide accurate insurance information to avoid potential suspension of driving privileges. Should you have questions, the DMV Crash Reporting Unit is available to assist. Remember, filing this report is not just a formality; it is a legal requirement that helps ensure accountability and safety on Oregon's roads.

OREGON TRAFFIC CRASH AND INSURANCE REPORT

Tear this sheet off your report, read and carefully follow the directions.

ONLY drivers involved in a crash resulting in any of the following MUST file a Crash & Insurance Report:
•	Damage to your vehicle is over $2500	•	Damage to any one person’s property over $2500
•	Injury (No matter how minor)	•	Any vehicle has damage over $2500 and any vehicle is
•	Death	•	towed from the scene as a result of damages

Oregon law requires these reports be filed within 72 hours of the crash. If you are not able to file within the 72 hours, submit it as soon as possible. If you fail to report the crash to DMV, it may result in suspension of your driving privileges. If the police department files a police report, you are still required to file your own Crash and Insurance Report with DMV. When required to report, even if you are licensed in another state, or you are not an Oregon resident, you still must file a report with Oregon DMV. DMV does not determine fault in a crash, but does post the crash to the driving record of those drivers required to report, unless the vehicle is parked. If you have questions, please call DMV Crash Reporting Unit at (503) 945-5098.

INSTRUCTIONS

TOTALED VEHICLE NOTICE

DEFINITIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR TOTALED VEHICLES

IF YOUR CRASH HAS RESULTED IN A “TOTALED” VEHICLE, YOU ARE REQUIRED BY LAW TO

FOLLOW APPROPRIATE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS NOTICE.

DEFINITION OF “TOTALED” VEHICLE

“Totaled Vehicle” or “Totaled” as defined in Oregon law (ORS 801.527) means:

•A vehicle that is declared a total loss by an insurer who is obligated to cover the loss or a vehicle that the insurer takes possession of or title to.

•A vehicle that has sustained damage that is not covered by an insurer and the estimated cost to repair the vehicle is equal to at least 80% of the retail market value prior to the damage. “Retail market value” is defined as the amount shown in publications used by financial institutions (banks or lenders) in this state.

•A vehicle that is stolen, if it is not recovered within 30 days of theft and the loss is not covered by an insurer. In this situation, you must notify DMV within 60 days of the theft.

▼ FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS IF YOUR VEHICLE IS TOTALED ▼

If your vehicle is totaled, in addition to completing the crash report, follow the instruction that is applicable to your case. Either:

1.SURRENDER the title to the insurer if the damage is covered by an insurer who declares the vehicle to be a “total loss,” and the insurer takes possession of the vehicle; or

2.SURRENDER the title to DMV and apply for salvage title if the damage is covered by an insurer who declares the vehicle to be a “total loss,” but you keep possession of the vehicle; or

3.SURRENDER the title to DMV and apply for salvage title if the damage was not covered by an insurer and the estimated cost of repair is at least 80% of the retail market value of the vehicle before the damage; or

4.NOTIFY DMV that your vehicle has been totaled if, for some reason, you are unable to obtain the title for surrender. You must provide DMV with a signed statement which includes:

•A description of the vehicle which includes the year model, make, plate number and vehicle identification number.

•A statement indicating the vehicle has been totaled.

•A statement that you are unable to obtain the title and why.

DO NOT SUBMIT THE TITLE WITH THE CRASH REPORT. You can obtain the Application for Salvage Title (Form 735-229) from any DMV office, by calling (503) 945-5000, or on-line at www.oregondmv.com. Application instructions and fee information are on the back of the form 735-229. If you have questions about salvage titles, call (503) 945-5122.

What is the Oregon DMV Accident Report form, and when is it required?

The Oregon DMV Accident Report form is a document that drivers involved in a crash must complete when certain conditions are met. You need to file this report if:

Your vehicle has damage exceeding $2,500.
Any one person's property damage is over $2,500.
There is any injury, regardless of how minor.
Any vehicle involved is towed from the scene due to damage.
There is a fatality.

Oregon law mandates that this report be filed within 72 hours of the crash. If you cannot meet this deadline, it is crucial to submit it as soon as possible to avoid potential suspension of your driving privileges.

How do I complete the Oregon DMV Accident Report form?

Completing the form requires careful attention to detail. Start by clearly identifying the date, location, and time of the crash in Section 1. Ensure that you fill out all fields in Section 2, which pertains to your vehicle. Include your insurance company name (not the agent), policy number, and vehicle identification number (VIN). Incomplete information may lead to a Notice of Suspension from DMV.

Section 3 must also be filled out; failure to do so could result in further penalties. Describe the incident in Section 5, and remember to sign and date the form. If you cannot sign due to incapacitation, only a family member may sign on your behalf.

What happens if I fail to file the Accident Report?

If you do not file the Accident Report when required, you risk facing a suspension of your driving privileges. The DMV does not determine fault in a crash, but they will record the incident on your driving record if you are required to report it. Even if a police report has been filed, you are still obligated to submit your own report to the DMV.

How can I submit the Accident Report to the DMV?

You have several options for submitting the Accident Report:

Email it to [email protected] .
Fax it to 503-945-5267.
Mail it to the DMV Crash Reporting Unit at 1905 Lana Ave NE, Salem, Oregon 97314.
Deliver it in person to a DMV office.

Regardless of the submission method, keep a copy of the report and any documentation that shows when you submitted it. For example, if you email the report, save the auto-reply confirmation you receive. This documentation can be vital if there are any questions about your submission.

What should I do if my vehicle is totaled?

If your vehicle is declared "totaled," specific steps must be followed. First, surrender the title to your insurer if they declare it a total loss and take possession. If you retain the vehicle, surrender the title to the DMV and apply for a salvage title. If the damage is not covered by insurance and the repair costs exceed 80% of the vehicle's retail market value, you must also surrender the title and apply for a salvage title.

If you cannot obtain the title, notify the DMV with a signed statement that includes a description of the vehicle and your reasons for being unable to provide the title. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in legal penalties.

Common mistakes

Filling out the Oregon DMV Accident Report form can be a daunting task, and mistakes are common. One of the most frequent errors is failing to provide complete information in Section 2. This section requires details about your vehicle, including the insurance company name, policy number, and vehicle identification number (VIN). Omitting any of these details can lead to a Notice of Suspension, which can complicate matters significantly.

Another common mistake involves the date, location, and time of the crash, which are recorded in Section 1. Many individuals rush through this section or provide incorrect information. It’s crucial to clearly identify these details, as they are essential for processing the report. If you're uncertain about the county, reaching out to local law enforcement can provide clarity.

People often overlook the requirement to complete both sides of the form. Skipping the back side can result in an incomplete report, leading to further delays or complications. It’s vital to ensure that every section is filled out thoroughly. Additionally, if other vehicles were involved, many forget to complete the Supplemental Report. This additional form is necessary for a comprehensive account of the incident.

Misunderstanding the definition of "injury" can also lead to errors. Even minor injuries must be reported. Failing to do so could result in legal repercussions or complications with insurance claims. Similarly, some people mistakenly believe that if a police report is filed, they do not need to submit their own report. This is not the case; each driver involved in the crash is required to file their own report.

Inaccuracies in the insurance section can be detrimental. Not only must you provide the correct insurance company name, but it is also essential to include the policy number. Incomplete information here can lead to a suspension of driving privileges. Furthermore, many individuals neglect to keep a copy of their submitted report, which is vital for personal records and future reference.

Another common mistake is failing to sign and date the report. This may seem trivial, but without your signature, the report may not be considered valid. Only a family member may sign on behalf of an incapacitated driver, and no other signatures will be accepted. This stipulation is often overlooked, leading to additional complications.

People sometimes misinterpret the instructions regarding totaled vehicles. If your vehicle is deemed totaled, specific actions must be taken, such as surrendering the title to either the insurer or DMV. Failing to comply with these requirements can lead to serious penalties, including fines or imprisonment.

Lastly, many individuals do not take the time to review their completed report before submission. This oversight can lead to errors that could have been easily corrected. Taking a moment to double-check the information can save time and prevent future issues.

In summary, filling out the Oregon DMV Accident Report requires careful attention to detail. By avoiding these common mistakes, you can ensure that your report is complete and accurate, ultimately making the process smoother and more efficient.

Documents used along the form

When involved in a vehicle accident in Oregon, it is essential to complete the Oregon DMV Accident Report form. However, there are several other documents that may also be necessary to ensure all legal and insurance requirements are met. Below is a list of these forms and a brief description of each.

Supplemental Report (Form 735-32B): This form is used when more than two vehicles are involved in the crash. It provides additional information about the other drivers and vehicles, ensuring that all necessary details are documented.
Motor Carrier Crash Report (Form 735-9229): Required for commercial motor vehicle operators, this report must be filed within 30 days of a crash that results in a fatality, injury, or towing of the vehicle. It captures specific information related to commercial operations.
Application for Salvage Title (Form 735-229): If your vehicle is declared a total loss, this form is necessary to apply for a salvage title. It outlines the process for surrendering the title and obtaining a new one.
Insurance Claim Form: This document is submitted to your insurance company to initiate a claim for damages resulting from the accident. It typically requires detailed information about the crash and the damages incurred.
Police Report: If law enforcement responds to the scene, they will create a police report. This document provides an official account of the accident, which may be necessary for insurance claims and legal proceedings.
Witness Statements: Collecting statements from witnesses can provide additional perspectives on the accident. These statements can be crucial in determining liability and supporting your account of the incident.
Medical Records: If injuries occurred as a result of the accident, medical records may be needed to document the extent of injuries and the treatment received. This information is often required for insurance claims and potential legal actions.

Completing the Oregon DMV Accident Report form and gathering these additional documents can help streamline the process following an accident. Being thorough and organized will assist in meeting legal obligations and ensuring that all parties involved are properly accounted for.

Similar forms

The Oregon DMV Accident Report form shares similarities with the police accident report, which is often filed by law enforcement after responding to a crash. Both documents serve the purpose of documenting the details surrounding an accident, including the date, time, location, and parties involved. However, while the police report is typically generated by an officer at the scene and may include their assessment of fault, the DMV form is required to be completed by the drivers involved, regardless of whether a police report was filed. This distinction emphasizes the DMV's role in maintaining accurate records for licensing and insurance purposes, rather than determining fault.

Another document that resembles the Oregon DMV Accident Report is the insurance claim form. This form is submitted to an insurance company to initiate the process of seeking compensation for damages or injuries resulting from an accident. Like the DMV report, the insurance claim form requires detailed information about the incident, including the parties involved, descriptions of the vehicles, and the extent of damages. However, the focus of the insurance claim form is on financial recovery, while the DMV report is more concerned with legal compliance and record-keeping.

The Motor Carrier Crash Report, specifically required for commercial motor vehicle operators in Oregon, is yet another document akin to the DMV Accident Report. This form must be filed within 30 days of a crash that results in injury, fatality, or towing of a vehicle. Similar to the DMV form, it captures critical information about the accident and the vehicles involved. However, it is tailored to the unique circumstances of commercial vehicle operators and includes additional requirements that reflect the regulatory standards governing commercial transportation.

Lastly, the Supplemental Report (Form 735-32B) is a document that complements the Oregon DMV Accident Report when multiple vehicles are involved in a crash. This form allows for the collection of additional information about other drivers and their vehicles, ensuring that all relevant parties are documented. While it serves a similar purpose to the primary accident report, it specifically addresses scenarios where the complexity of the accident necessitates further detail, thereby enhancing the accuracy of the overall report submitted to the DMV.
