Is it true that a Missouri STARS accident report is necessary for all private property accidents?

In Missouri, a STARS (Statewide Traffic and Accident Reporting System) accident report is not required for all private property accidents. The nature of private property accidents means that they often do not meet the criteria for a formal accident report as governed by state laws and regulations. Typically, STARS reports are necessary for accidents that occur on public roadways, particularly when there are injuries or significant property damage.

Furthermore, accidents on private property can often be resolved between the involved parties without the formal documentation mandated for public road accidents. Thus, the correct understanding is that a STARS accident report is not universally necessary for all types of accidents on private property.
