If you were injured in an auto accident, you may be entitled to compensation that can cover the cost of past and future medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. Obtaining a copy of your crash report can help you prove liability. Information in a crash report, such as which driver the police officer believed was at fault, statements made by the other driver following the accident, a description of your injuries and vehicle damage, and other information, can strengthen your claim. Your personal injury lawyer will use this information when negotiating with the insurance company for the settlement you deserve.
