I wasn't at fault in a car accident, so why did my driver's license get suspended?

DMV Traffic Accident Report SR 1

“Even if you’re not at fault in a car accident, your driver’s license can still be suspended.” - Jonathan Shin, Attorney

If you are involved in a vehicle accident that occurred in California, you must report it to DMV if:

• There was property damage of more than $1,000 ($750 for accidents prior to January 1, 2017) or

• Anyone was injured (no matter how minor) or

• Anyone was killed.

Each driver must make a report to DMV within 10 days, whether you caused the accident or not and even if the accident occurred on private property.

FAILURE TO PROVIDE THE INFORMATION WILL RESULT IN SUSPENSION OF THE DRIVING PRIVILEGE.
