1 Lawyer Answer

A: A Georgia attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. However, accidents nationwide could be investigated by various entities, including insurance companies, departments of transportation, departments of highway safety, and outside agencies. Different entities could have their own standard operating procedures for conducting their investigations. Many states have databases maintained by departments of motor vehicles that require reporting of accidents involving injury or certain property damage thresholds. Good luck
