A crash report is a legal document filled out by a police officer who responds to the scene of an accident. These documents will detail how and why the accident occurred, which driver the police officer believes was negligent, in addition to other information, such as:

• Vehicle damage,
• Any bodily injuries,
• The contact information for all parties involved
• The date, time, and location of the crash
• License plate numbers
• Driver’s license numbers
• Actions of police officers
• Details on crimes (if any)
• Accident type, such as multi-car crash, motorcycle crash, 3-vehicle crash
• Accident details, such as any contributing factors to the crash. Contributing factors can include road closures, traffic jams, other accidents, debris on the road, or inclement weather.

Eligible parties who can obtain a copy of a crash report include all parties involved in the accident, the parent or legal guardian of a minor, insurance companies, law enforcement agencies, accident attorneys, and vehicle owners.

If you were involved in an auto accident that was not your fault you may be entitled to compensation. Crash reports contain important information that can help strengthen your claim and prove the other driver was negligent. This information includes the police officer’s accident investigation findings, where they detail how and why the accident occurred, anything that contributed to the accident, and which driver they believed was negligent. Other helpful information found in a traffic accident report can include any citations issued, a diagram of the accident scene, any injuries you sustained, vehicle damage, and road and weather conditions. Your attorney will use the information in this legal document to help prove the other driver should be held accountable for their negligence.
