Common Questions

Typically, a police accident report will have the police officer’s investigation of the accident. The report will often contain some of the following information:

  • approx. time, date and location of the collision or injury
  • information for all parties and witnesses involved in the collision such as names, addresses, phone numbers, and vehicle insurance information
  • location of where the damage was made to the vehicles involved in the collision
  • statements from all parties and witnesses
  • if any citations were given or violations of law, and
  • additional information on the motor vehicle accident provided by the officer

Typically, a police accident report may be obtained by the individual involved or owner of the vehicle involved. Additional parties include the following:

  • family members, spouse, child or sibling who are directly related to those involved in the accident
  • a licensed attorney
  • a licensed private investigator hired by someone involved in the crash
  • Insurance Companies from all parties involved

Once you receive your copy of the police accident report from your accident, you will need to review it and find out what the facts are from the event. Your insurance company or the other parties involved will most likely have the same copy of the report, so you should be able to support your version of what happened during the accident. 

Typically, time starts running on the day your incident occurred that caused you to be injured. See our chart below for your state.
