Fail to Report Accident - Highway Traffic Act - section 199,1

Fail to Report Accident - Ontario Highway Traffic Act - Section 199,1

As well as stopping after an accident, where the damage in the accident is more than one thousand ($1000) dollars, or when someone is hurt, or there is damage to highway property, the driver or person in charge of the vehicle must report the accident to the police forthwith.

Forthwith means, within a reasonable time having regard to all the circumstances of the case, "as soon as practicable", meaning you must report the accident right away, as soon as you possibly can.

The penalty for Failing to Report an Accident is a fine up to one thousand dollars and three (3) demerit points. A conviction for this offence may dramatically affect insurance rates by thousands of dollars per year.

Contact OTT Legal at one of our seven Ontario offices to discuss your case at no charge.

Fail to Remain - Highway Traffic Act section 200,1 >
Fail to Remain - Criminal Code of Canada section 252 >
