When you get in a California car accident one of the first steps to take is notifying the police and other emergency services of the collision for them to be able to file a police report on the matter. According to the California code section 20008 any party involved in a vehicular accident that resulted in injury, death must report it to either the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or the police within 24 hours of the accident, although it is common that the officer that responds to your emergency call right after the accident will be able to file the report for the affected parties.
