Should I Get An Accident Report After an Accident in Florida?

The answer I tell my clients with few exceptions is, “Yes, you should get a crash report if you’ve been involved in a car accident.” Whether that crash report is filled out by a police officer or a community service aid, it’s going to have additional information that’s going to assist an attorney who may be investigating the crash on your behalf. That crash report will also have information that’s going to assist the insurance companies to evaluate the claim and also determine who is at fault and liable for damages. Typically, crash reports include the date, time, and location of the crash, the parties that were involved in the crash, as well as the circumstances surrounding the incident, as well as statements made by the drivers that were involved in the crash and if there were any witnesses.
