Backing accidents

What is with this private property stuff, it is public access and a lot of places it is public parking so the cops will come out sometimes. I called on one when I was hit in a parking lot where I was told to park, the cop on the other part of the line said "just exchange insurance info" and I told him the girl doesn't have any, so he said "then just submit it to your insurance and let them deal with it", so I did, the insurance adjuster said cops won't come out any more. What pissed me off even more is the cop shop was a block from this place and three of them passed by going to the donut shop at the end of the block.

 

oh by the way, it is an incident when it is declared to the company, not an accident.

 

Depends on the state. Here in MI if it's under $1,000 in damage they may or may not even show up. And even if they do show up they will not make any kind of report.

 

NJ CDL the abstract reads "Accident - police reported"....no matter the fault

 

When someone backed into my truck at a Loves my company told me to call the cops and so I did. The guy showed up. I asked about it being private property. He said its public access and so absolutely they will come and make a report if requested. You're talking a property damage claim, not a moving violation.

 

Police report wasn’t needed
