A collision report is a legal document that is created by a police officer who responds to the scene of an auto accident. These documents detail the events that led up to the accident, how and why the accident occurred, and which party the police officer believes was negligent. These reports will also include:

• The names and contact details of all parties involved
• The time, date, and location of the accident
• A diagram of the accident scene
• A description of bodily injuries
• A description of vehicle damage and property damage
• Road and weather conditions
• Insurance and registration information
• Vehicle plate numbers and driver’s license numbers
• Any citations issued for the violation of traffic laws
• Any arrests made by a Norwalk Sheriff’s Deputy

In most cases, all parties involved in an auto collision can obtain a copy of an unredacted traffic crash report. Additionally, personal injury lawyers, insurance companies, vehicle owners, the parent or legal guardian of a minor, and law enforcement agencies can also obtain an unredacted copy.

If you were injured in a motor vehicle accident that was not your fault, you may be entitled to compensation. If you are pursuing compensation in the form of an auto insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit you must obtain a copy of your Norwalk Police Department accident report to help strengthen your case. Traffic accident reports contain important information such as the police officer’s accident summary which details how and why the accident occurred and which party they believe was negligent, in addition to other helpful information such as any traffic citations issued for the violation of traffic laws, any arrests made, a diagram of the accident site, a description of the injuries you sustained, and a description of the damage to your vehicle or other personal property. An experienced accident lawyer can use the information found in a traffic crash report to help fight for fair compensation for the harm you have suffered due to the negligence of another.
