IF YOU CONTACT THE PROPERTY OWNER AND THEY SAY THAT THEY DON'T NEED A REPORT, THEN NO REPORT IS NECCESSARY.SOME STATES, LIKE FLORIDA, REQUIRE YOU TO REPORT THE INCIDENT TO THE HSMV IF THERE IS OVER $500 DOLLAR WORTH OF DAMAGE. YOU CAN GET THE HSMV FORM AT YOUR LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENT AND FILL IT OUT YOUR SELF THEN MAIL IT.

If you witnessed the hit and run, call 911 and give them all the information you can.

How long do you have to file a hit and run?

Immediately. It would be on file with the police station that has jurisdiction over the location where the accident occurred. If you were, in fact, the subject of a hit and run, do the right thing; you would want to be treated that way. Besides, if the police do track you down, the penalty is far greater than if you report the accident yourself, even at this stage.


You hit a car in parking lot and there was no damage except for some paint scratches do you need to file a police report and report it also you place a note on the windshield is this a hit and run?

In Florida you need to give the other vehicle owner your info. If they are not in the car you need to put a note on their car with your info. Calling the police is best as you can get a police report to prove it. As long as you get your info to the other person or the police, it is NOT a Hit and Run. If you flee the scene without giving your info to the police or the other car owner, it IS a Hit and Run.
