If you are involved in an auto accident that was not your fault and sustained injuries and vehicle damage, you may be entitled to compensation. If you’re filing an auto insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit you must obtain a copy of your police traffic report to help strengthen your claim. The information in a collision report that can help you receive the compensation you deserve includes:The crash narrative. This portion of the accident report is written by the responding Garden Grove PD law enforcement officer and covers their findings after they have conducted an accident investigation. Typically, the crash narrative will include the police officer’s opinion regarding how the accident took place, why the accident occurred, and which party they believe was at fault.
