When you initially look at an accident report, it may seem confusing. However, if you break down the text, you’ll quickly realize it provides valuable information that can benefit your personal injury claim. Accident reports contain all essential information such as names, contact information, type of accident, vehicle information, conditions at the time of the accident, and how severe the crash was. As you read through the report, you’ll find more detailed information on the collision, including a description of the damages, any sustained injuries, how the crash occurred, and any associated circumstances. The responding officer will list all involved parties, including witnesses. They will also note whether anyone was tested for alcohol or drugs, or if there was any suspected impairment.
