They will also pay attention to weather and road conditions and note any other important details that could have contributed to the accident, such as city traffic delays or debris on the road.
• Witness statements

If you’re filing an accident claim or lawsuit, a crash report is an important document that you must obtain as soon as possible. An accident report can include the police officer’s opinion concerning which driver was negligent and how the accident occurred. The report also includes information such as a description of personal injuries, vehicle damage, witness statements, and other vital info you’ll need if you plan to pursue a claim for compensation. Even if you sustained only minor injuries, you may still be eligible to file a claim. A personal injury lawyer can use the information to help strengthen an accident claim and negotiate with insurance companies to ensure you receive a full and fair settlement to cover the cost of your medical bills, ongoing medical attention, vehicle damage, lost wages from work, and other losses.
