The time in which you have to notify your insurance company is probably stated in you policy. It more than likely follows the time limit in which you have to notify DMV. In NY if the property damage of any person is $1,001 or more, all the involved drivers are required by the NYS Vehicle and Traffic Law to file form MV-104(Report of Motor Vehicle Accident). File form MV-104 with the DMV no more than 10 days after the accident. The DMV can suspend your driver license if you fail to report an accident.
