I ran a stop sign and caused a side collision with another car. Both cars were obviously damaged. However, the other driver, my passenger and I were all uninjured. Is this situation a misdemeanor or felony, or a lesser crime?

If you were only cited for a Stop Sign/Traffic Control Device Violation, then it is a misdemeanor.
Many times these situations can be handled as a civil matter assuming you were insured and insurance took care of the claim. You would also have to get the DA's office, the police officer and most importantly the Judge to agree to this.

Traffic Citations are misdemeanors. If you were cited for something other than the traffic accident that would be a separate charge. If you were not arrested, likely the charge was a misdemeanor. If there are no injuries you will want to make sure that the property damage for the other vehicle has been resolved and take it with you to court that could benefit you in dealing with the court on your citation.
