A police report is created by the law enforcement officer who responds to the scene of a car accident. The police report can include crash-related details, statements from those involved in the accident—as well as witnesses—and other key information. In fact, police reports are given a significant amount of weight by insurance adjusters, as well as attorneys—especially when the findings indicate that one driver was clearly at fault. The responding police officer will usually include a diagram of the accident that includes location, the path of the vehicles involved, and the point of collision. Once you have secured a copy of the police report, make copies of the report so you can give one to your attorney, and have extras, if needed.
