What is the maximum damage amount under which the MV 104 form is unnecessary to process?

The maximum damage amount under which the MV 104 form is unnecessary to process is $1000. This regulation is in place to streamline documentation requirements for minor accidents or collisions. If the estimated property damage from an accident is $1000 or less, drivers are not required to complete this particular form to report the incident.

This threshold helps reduce the administrative burden on individuals involved in lower-impact accidents, where the likelihood of significant injuries or disputes tends to be minimal. Above this limit, the requirement for more comprehensive reporting through the MV 104 form becomes necessary to ensure proper legal documentation of the incident.

The other amounts provided, such as $500, $1500, and $2000, exceed or do not meet the recognized threshold where the MV 104 would be mandated, reinforcing why $1000 is the correct response.
