If you sustained injuries in a motor vehicle collision that was not your fault, you can pursue compensation in the form of an insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit. The information in a collision report can help strengthen your insurance claim for compensation. The vital information in the report, such as the law enforcement officer’s opinion regarding who they believe was at fault for the crash, a description of the injuries you suffered in the accident, a description of the damage done to your motor vehicle, and other personal property can provide proof for your request for damages. An accident lawyer from a personal injury law firm will use this information to negotiate the full and fair compensation you deserve for your losses.
