This is not true! One party can make a claim and file a police report without other party being present. You just need to have a place (licence plate) of the other vehicle.
About 6 weeks ago my front left bumper got damaged by an idiot on SUV who was pushing himself upfront-right on Ovando/M.Gomez. He stopped to explore the damages but refused to go to police (of course he was claiming "I" hit him - which anybody just by seeing the bumper damage and the way it was damaged could not even consider). He was drunk. I took the placa number and went to Casa de Conductor to file a report, as one party, giving my version of the story and got a signed and stamped report for my insurance company.
