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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
