Crash reports are created by law enforcement officers when they are investigating an accident scene. These reports contain:
If you were involved in a motor vehicle accident you may be eligible to pursue compensation for all accident-related expenses. By filing an auto insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit, the goal is to make you financially whole again, as in the financial position you were in before the accident occurred. However, to receive compensation for all accident-related damages you must prove the other driver was at fault. An accident report can be used as key evidence that the other driver was liable for the collision. Important information in a crash report, such as the police officer’s opinion regarding which party was negligent and how the accident occurred, any citations issued for traffic violations such as speeding or changing lanes without signaling, can all be used to prove the other driver was at fault and should be held accountable for their negligent actions. A personal injury lawyer will use the information in a crash report when negotiating with the other driver’s insurance company or defense attorney to fight for a fair settlement to cover all accident-related damages.
Tell us the crash date and the responding agency and we will help you find the report.
