Under FR-300 criteria, which situation requires filing even if there is no injury?

• A. Property damage of $1,500 or more (singularly or combined)
• B. No property damage but a complaint
• C. Property damage under $500
• D. Only when there is an injury

Answer: (A)

Under FR-300 criteria, a crash must be filed when there is a property damage level that meets or exceeds a specific dollar amount, even if no one is injured. The threshold is set at $1,500 in property damage, so any crash resulting in damage at or above that amount requires filing. This rule exists to ensure significant property damage incidents are officially documented for record-keeping, insurance, and traffic-safety analysis, regardless of whether injuries occurred.

Situations with no property damage, or with damage below the threshold, or cases that involve injuries do not automatically meet the mandatory filing rule in the same way. The key idea is that reaching the $1,500 property damage level triggers the filing requirement independently of injuries.
