If you hit a parked car and have not told the driver or police how long do to report accident without getting in legal trouble?

In most jurisdictions, you are legally required to report an accident to the police within a certain amount of time. The specific time limit varies from state to state, but it is typically 24 to 72 hours. If you fail to report the accident within the required time frame, you could be charged with a crime.

In addition to reporting the accident to the police, you should also contact the driver of the parked car as soon as possible. You should provide them with your name, contact information, and insurance information. You should also take photos of the damage to both vehicles.

If you hit a parked car and do not report the accident, you could face a number of legal consequences, including:

- Being charged with a crime

- Having your driver's license suspended or revoked

- Being ordered to pay restitution to the owner of the parked car

- Having your insurance rates increase

It is important to note that even if you do not think the damage is significant, you are still required to report the accident. The owner of the parked car may not be aware of the damage, and they may not be able to file an insurance claim if they do not know about the accident.

By reporting the accident, you are protecting both yourself and the owner of the parked car from financial and legal harm.
