Some states, including Alabama and Georgia, require the SR 13 form when a vehicular accident occurs. The requirements under which these traffic accident reports require filing vary by state. Check with the police in the jurisdiction in which the accident occurred to learn if it requires this form. This specific Alabama Department of Public Safety Form SR 13 is tailored for Alabama submitted after a traffic accident. It is a motor vehicle crash report you must file otherwise you can lose your driver's license. If damages are above $250 after an accident of traffic, this form must be filed to the Department of Public Safety. This document is not related to the Police Officer, Police Department, county sheriff's office, police report or any other law enforcement agency information you receive or complete after a crash filed with a sheriff's office. Make sure you submit this form along with any other traffic crash reports you need to file after a car collision to avoid legal consequences, remember it's up to you to be diligent and report an accident to the needed parties and/or agencies. Use PDFsimpli's editor to fill in your SR 13 Form. Just click on the Image of the form on top of the page or the button in the top of the page to start filling out your form now.

Why is the SR 13 PDF used?

This form, also known as the Safety Responsibility Accident Report, documents an accident, property damaged it caused and the insurance coverage of the filer. Some states require it when the accident results in death.

Who Would Use the SR 13 PDF?

Any driver involved in an accident would complete this form. This refers to more than multiple vehicular accidents. For example, if the driver hit a cow or horse, both considered a domestic animal, they should still file the form since that would cause significant property damage.

When Should You Use the SR 13 PDF?

This varies by state. In Alabama, for example, the law requires a driver involved in an accident to file the report with the Alabama Department of Public Safety within 30 days of the accident. It does not matter which driver is found at fault. Every driver involved in the accident must file this form. It also does not matter whether the automobile was covered by liability insurance at the time. If the driver was involved in a single-car accident, they only need to file the form if the accident resulted in more than $250 property damage. Property refers to more than another vehicle. It includes things like fences, garage doors, mailboxes, telephone poles and the like.

What are the Consequences for not Using an SR 13 PDF?

Again, the penalties vary by state, but in the case of Alabama, the driver failing to file the form will have their driver's license suspended if their insurance information was required. The state provides a 30-day grace period in which it mails a request for the form. The license gets revoked if the driver does not return the form in that time period.

Steps for Filling Out an SR 13 PDF Form

The form contains three parts. The top section contains information regarding the location of the accident. The second part refers to the vehicle the filer owns. The third part refers to other drivers' vehicles.
