You’ll require a police report to sustain your description of the wreck. However, getting your hands on a police report might be frustrating and time-consuming. Police departments will demand that you have a legitimate reason for the report and request proof of identity before releasing the report to you. Get the incident number from the officer who responded to the crash. Find out how fast their department processes reports; ask precisely what kind of identifying info you’ll need to bring and how much a copy of the report will cost you. Most departments charge an administrative cost for the report (normally around $20) or charge you a copying fee per page.
