You must obtain a copy of your Whittier crash report since it contains important information that you can use to strengthen your claim against the other driver’s insurance company.

This information can include the police officer’s accident investigation findings which detail how and why the accident took place and which driver was at fault. Other important details can include a description of the injuries you sustained in the accident, a description of vehicle damage and personal property damage, a diagram of the accident site, any traffic citations issued, any arrests made, and more. Your personal injury attorney will use the information in this traffic accident report to build a strong case that will hold the negligent driver accountable for the harm they have caused.
