Which statement correctly lists the conditions that require reporting a crash in Wisconsin?

• A. Injury or death, or $1,000 or more total property damage, or $200 or more government property damage
• B. Injury or death only
• C. Private property damage of $1,500 or more
• D. Government property damage of $250 or more

Answer: (A)

In Wisconsin, you must report a crash to law enforcement when someone is injured or killed, or when property damage meets certain monetary thresholds. Specifically, reporting is required if there is injury or death; or if private property damage totals at least $1,000 across all property involved; or if government property damage is $200 or more. This combination ensures that serious incidents and notable property damage—whether to private property or to public property like street signs or lights—are officially documented.

The other possibilities miss part of the rule or use incorrect amounts. For example, focusing only on injury or death ignores property-damage thresholds; using a higher private-property threshold like $1,500 omits the actual $1,000 trigger; or using a government-property threshold like $250 ignores the correct $200 figure. The statement that correctly captures all the conditions—injury or death, or $1,000+ total private property damage, or $200+ government property damage—is the one that aligns with Wisconsin’s reporting requirements.
