The Atlanta Police Department has announced officers will no longer respond to car crashes if no one is injured.
The City of Atlanta made the announcement on Twitter.
Officials say they made the decision to not dispatch officers to non-injury accidents to “protect the health and safety of our staff and customers, and to help mitigate the impact of COVID-19.”
Instead of meeting with police, officials are asking anyone involved in an accident without injuries to fill out the SR-13 form instead.
In the form, you’ll need to include information about where the accident happened, the vehicles and drivers involved, and what each driver was intending to do.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
As a responsible driver, you must never leave the scene of a private property or roadway accident prior to exchanging information with those involved, or those who have property that is damaged. When involved in an accident, be aware of the traffic situation, and any other potential dangers, such as fire. You should also activate your hazard lights or use any other suitable methods to warn other approaching vehicles. If the vehicles are operable and no one is complaining of injuries, move the vehicles out of the roadway to the closest safe location. If there are injuries or the accident occurs in a main roadway, please contact 911 and inform them of your accident. If you are involved in an accident, you are required to provide certain information to the other parties involved. Likewise, fellow motorists, passengers or pedestrians involved in the accident must share similar information with you. Also, it is often wise to ask for the information of witnesses to the accident just in case you need to have them testify at a later date. The key information to exchange in the aftermath of an accident includes:- Name, address and contact details.
- Driver license number.
- License plate number of the vehicles involved.
- Auto insurance information for the motorists involved.
- If anyone is injured or killed as a result of the accident.
- If damage to property exceeds $500.
- If the accident occurs on a county or state roadway, highway or interstate and either party requests a police report.

My experience with Cambre and Associates was outstanding. Attorney Noah Moore was counsel for my personal injury case. Attorney Moore kept me informed of my case status and he was very professional. He was very busy and I liked that he was able to balance a busy schedule and still follow-up with me. I highly recommend this personal injury practice.
Cambre & Associates provided great results and customer service. Every time I called into the office they greeted me with kindness and answered all my questions. I’m extremely happy in the way they handled my case! Cambre and his team helped me and my family and for that I’m forever grateful.
This is the second accident case that Cambre & Associates has handled for me. I highly recommend their services because they were always courteous, professional and responsive. Thank you Cambre & Associates for you service and getting a fair settlement for me.
Not only did my legal team FIGHT for me, they ended up settling my case for FAR more than I was expecting. This settlement is a blessing and I will use it to make a better life for me and my girlfriend. Thanks to Cambre & Associates, I have a second chance at life.
