California car accident: when do I need to file an SR-1 with DMV?
California DMV says an SR-1 must be filed within 10 days if someone is injured or killed, or if property damage is over $1,000. The SR-1 is required in addition to any report made to police, CHP or your insurer. Official source: California DMV. Guide: https://getinstantlaw.com/car-accidents/insurance-claim-denied
