How to Obtain Your Accident Report For Free
After a car accident in Georgia, an accident report or police report (same thing) is one of the most important and significant pieces of information that you can get to support your car accident injury case. On the crash report there will be a lot of important information pertaining to the facts of the accident. There is generally a narrative statement from the reporting officer. There is also an initial indication of who (if anyone) the officer thinks caused the accident. Besides the parties and their insurance information there is usually a diagram of the location of the accident scene, information about vehicle damage and more.
Getting a police report from a car accident is not always easy. However, understanding the codes and other information on it can be even more trying. It is a best practice to have an experienced Georgia car accident lawyer walk you through it. If you have been involved in a car accident in Georgia, call us today at (770) 717-5100. We can help you get a free copy of the police report after your accident, explain what everything means and, if necessary, help you file a personal injury claim against the other driver(s) and the appropriate insurance company.
How to Get a Police Report
The process of obtaining a police report is generally the same from city to city, but there are some differences and they all depend on the city, town or location in Georgia where the car accident happened. For instance, some jurisdictions may require a small fee to obtain a Georgia motor vehicle crash report, while others may not. In addition, some cities may have requirements about the process for requesting the police report.
In Georgia, you can always order a police report from the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT). Fill out the Individual Request for Crash Report form, and send the form (along with a $5 cashier’s check or money order) payable to:
Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT)
935 E. Confederate Ave.,
Building. 24
Atlanta, GA 30316
Regardless of how you get your report, once it’s in hand, you’ll likely notice a few different codes featured prominently all throughout the report’s pages. These codes are used by law enforcement and insurance companies alike to determine what happened, who is likely to have responsibility for causing the accident and what damages and injuries were sustained. An experienced Georgia car accident attorney can help you analyze these codes so you are able to confidently understand how the accident was reported. If you need assistance deciphering your Georgia accident report here is a free download for deciphering the codes. Also, you can contact us and we will help you interpret it for free.
