The information in an accident report can help strengthen your claim. An experienced accident injury attorney can use this document to negotiate a full and fair settlement from the other driver’s insurance company. Important information in a crash report that can help your insurance claim can include:

• The reporting police officer’s opinion concerning who they believe was negligent, how, where, and why the accident occurred
• A description of the injuries you sustained in the accident
• A description of vehicle damage and personal property damage
• Witness statements

A personal injury lawyer will use this information to build a strong case that can prove the other driver should be held accountable for their negligent actions.
