Crash reports are legal documents that are filled out by police officers who respond to the scene of an accident. In this document, a police officer will include all the details of an auto accident, any contributing factors such as debris on the road, a dead animal on the road, road closures, traffic jams, or poor weather conditions. The document also includes some basic information such as a description of bodily injuries, vehicle damage, the contact details for all parties involved in the crash, driver’s license numbers, vehicle plate numbers, a diagram of the accident scene, any citations issued or arrests made, and insurance information.

Eligible persons who can receive an unredacted copy of a traffic accident report include all parties involved in the crash, vehicle owners, personal representatives, legal representatives such as accident attorneys, insurance companies, and the parent or guardian of a minor.

If you were involved in a motor vehicle crash that was not your fault, you must obtain a copy of your crash report to strengthen your claim and prove the other driver was negligent. Crash reports contain important information such as the police officer’s accident investigation findings detailing how the accident occurred, why, and which motorist the law-enforcement officer believed was at fault. Other important information includes a diagram of the accident scene, a description of any injuries you sustained, a description of vehicle damage, any citations issued or arrests made, and more. Your accident attorney will use this document when negotiating with the other driver’s insurance company to help you obtain the compensation you deserve for all accident-related losses.
