Not reporting a minor accident in a private parking lot

Answered 9 years and 5 months ago by Julie Unangst Quinn (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Traffic Violations
Assuming the accident happened in Louisiana - almost all police jurisdictions in Louisiana refuse to report on accident occurring on private property. So it wouldn't matter whether or not either of you called the police - they likely would have told you they don't report on accidents occurring on private property. You can contact your local sheriff's office or police department and inquire.    Second - the other driver is trying to scare you. If it was a hit and run, how would he have your information? And text messages and phone records will show otherwise - that you and he have been in constant contact.    I would call  your local law enforcement agency and 1)  ask about the issue of accident reporting on private property; and 2)  see if they will take a report about  either the accident or this guy blackmailing you (he's claiming he will make up a crime that you committed unless you pay him – you committed no crime and therefore it's extortion). ...
