If you’re unable to locate your report from the Philadelphia Police Department, you’ll need to check with separate police departments, including the county sheriff’s office to determine which law enforcement agency filed your report.
You should receive your Pennsylvania accident report in two to three weeks after you have made your request. If the accident involved a fatality, personal injuries, significant vehicle or personal property damage, it can take several weeks or months before a report is available.
If you sustained injuries in the auto accident, and/or other damages, you may be eligible to file an insurance company claim or personal injury lawsuit. Documenting an accident is a common police practice and helps law enforcement determine how, when, and why an accident occurred. In the accident report, a law enforcement agency requires the responding police officer to document who they believe was responsible for the accident and how the accident occurred. There will also be information concerning personal injuries, vehicle damage, and anything that may have contributed to the collision, such as bad weather or poor road conditions. An accident lawyer from a personal injury law firm can use this information to strengthen your insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit and help you receive the compensation you deserve for your losses. Even if you were involved in a minor accident, you must obtain a copy of this report for insurance purposes.
Tell us the crash date and the responding agency and we will help you find the report.
