Each driver involved in an accident that caused more than $750 ($500 for accidents prior to January 1, 2003) worth of property damage or injured or killed any person must complete a Traffic Accident Report form SR1 to DMV within 10 days. You may obtain information about the other driver from the accident report that he or she submitted.
To request this information, complete a Financial Responsibility Document Request form SR 19C and mail it to:
Department of Motor Vehicles
Financial Responsibility Unit
P.O. Box 942884
Sacramento, California 942884-0884.
Also available are the other driver's insurance information and a photocopy of the accident report and/or certification that the other driver in the accident was not insured (Uninsured Motorist Certificate). A $20 fee is required for each type of information requested.
Please contact me again if there are any problems.
Yours faithfully
Todd
