I assume you're referring to your insurance company.
There is no timeframe, but you're definitely going to get cancelled if you wait an inappropriate length of time.
Your insurance company has an obligation to defend you in the case of a lawsuit, so early reporting gives them a distinct advantage. It enables them to investigate the claim and control your exposure to legal liability.
If you don't report it, and a year from now a lawsuit rolls in, your insurance company cannot go back in time to control the whiplash claimant from getting messaged four times a week since the date of the loss. AT $220 A POP!
Report it sooner rather than later.

Each state has different time frames and laws concerning accident claims, however, insurance companies want the claims reported asap.

Look on the back of your insurance card, or call them.
