If you were involved in a motor vehicle accident you must obtain a copy of your crash report to help prove the other driver should be held liable for their negligent actions. Crash reports are detailed records that are filled out by law enforcement officers at the scene of an accident. The accident details in a report can help prove the other driver acted recklessly or negligently and their negligence resulted in the accident and your subsequent injuries.

Strengthening Your Insurance claim 

Information in a crash report that can help strengthen your claim includes witness statements, a description of your injuries, statements provided by drivers and passengers, statements provided by witnesses, citations issued, a diagram of the crash site, and more. If you’re working with an accident attorney, they will use this document when building a case against the other driver’s insurance provider to help you receive the compensation you deserve for your accident-related damages.
