OR| Oregon DFR Sends notice to Insurers that the Oregon DMV has launched a new online collision report service via DMV2U, allowing drivers to electronically submit collision reports (formerly known as accident or crash reports) using any internet-enabled device. This user-friendly, secure service is available 24/7, provides real-time submission with email confirmation, and allows users to save drafts for up to 30 days; however, only drivers with an Oregon license, permit, or ID are eligible, and the paper form remains available for those unable to access the online portal. Insurers are encouraged to inform clients about this new option, which aims to streamline reporting, improve data collection, and support safety initiatives statewide.
Key Points:
- By law, Oregon drivers must file a collision report within 72 hours if the crash involves injury, death, property damage over $2,500, or a towed vehicle; the new online service is intended to make compliance faster and more convenient.
- The online collision report form is accessible on computers, tablets, and smartphones, and guides users through a step-by-step process, with the ability to download or print the report upon submission.
