    You must file an Accident and Insurance Report form with DMV within 72 hours when:

    Damage to the vehicle you were driving is over $1,500; or

    Damage to any vehicle is over $1,500 and any vehicle is towed from the scene as a result of damages from this accident; or

    Injury or death resulted from this accident; or
    Damages to any one person's property other than a vehicle involved in this accident is over $1,500.

    Most police agencies do not respond on non-injury accidents that aren't blocking traffic, they just don't have the manpower.

    You should have had a police report filled out on the scene. I don't know what Oregon law says but in most places you'd report the accident to your insurance company, not the DMV.

    The reason to have a police report is so that you can utilize insurance and avoid ending up in small claims court with the other driver.
