Responding police officers typically develop accident reports that include pertinent details about a crash. In most cases, the at-fault party's insurance company will ask for a copy of the police report to verify the cause of the collision before compensating for the damages.
Usually, police reports include the following information:
The date, time, and location of the incident.
Contact details of all parties involved, including witnesses.
A narrative outlining the events leading up to and following the incident.
Visual representations such as diagrams or sketches depicting the accident scene.
Statements provided by the involved parties and witnesses.
Any citations or charges issued as a result of the incident.
Any other relevant information about the accident.
