Non-Recordable Crash Documentation

Not every crash is DOT-recordable. But you should document all crashes — many implications come from non-recordable events.

What's NOT recordable (per § 390.5)

Crash with no injuries AND no fatality AND vehicles drove away (no tow-away)
Crash with property damage only (damage was repaired without towing)
Crash where driver got out of vehicle, walked around, drove home

What's recordable

Crash with injury requiring medical treatment off-scene
Crash with fatality
Crash with disabling damage requiring tow-away

Why document non-recordable crashes

Insurance implications: even minor crashes affect insurance rates
Driver pattern: 3 non-recordable crashes in a year = pattern of behavior to address
Liability protection: documenting all events shows good faith management
Subrogation: tracking minor crashes supports later subrogation claims
Crash Preventability Program: even non-recordable can be filed if patterns matter

What to document

Date + time + location
Driver involved
Vehicle involved
Other party (if any)
Police report (if filed)
Photos
Witness contact info
Damage estimates
Insurance involvement
Preventability assessment

What NOT to include in DOT accident register

Non-recordable crashes (they don't go in the official register)
Mechanical breakdowns
Driver-only "incidents" (e.g., backing into post in parking lot — but document separately)

How to track separately

"Incident log" or "near-miss log" — informal carrier records
Driver coaching log
Insurance claim history
Subrogation tracking

Insurance considerations

Non-recordable crashes still affect commercial truck insurance rates
Insurance carriers may consider any incident
Pattern of incidents triggers higher renewal rates
Compass tracks all incidents for insurance reporting

Compass tracking

Records BOTH recordable + non-recordable
DOT-recordable flag for register
Separate incident log for non-recordable
Driver coaching pattern detection
Insurance + subrogation reference

CFR citations

49 CFR § 390.5
Insurance Practice
