WHY POLICE REPORTS IS IMPORTANT
Many people in the Delaware and Chester counties
may not realize the importance of filing accident
reports with law enforcement after they have been
involved in a car collision. They might believe
they can protect their insurance premiums and
driving records by convincing the other involved
parties to handle things on their own. It may
seem more beneficial to keep law enforcement out
of the equation so they can move on with their
lives.

POLICE REPORTS PRESERVE EVIDENCE
Police reports are crucial pieces of evidence.
When emergency responders and law enforcement
arrive on the scene of car accidents, they
observe and collect evidence. They also create
reports on that evidence so victims can use them
in legal proceedings. These reports often include
witness statements and contact information,
pictures and other crucial evidence.

INSURANCE COMPANIES AND LEGAL CLAIMS
When victims file claims in car accidents, they
need more than their verbal recollection of
events. Insurers use police reports to determine
liability and uphold their agreements with their
policyholders. Without police reports, they lack
the information needed. Even if victims sustained
serious injuries and property damage, police
reports are often necessary to prevent their
claims from being tossed out and to pave the way
for them to take additional legal actions against
the liable parties.

ACCURACY COUNTS IN VICTIMS CASES
There is the possibility of inaccuracy in police
statements. Reporting officers are human and may
miss important clues that prove liability. They
may also record things inaccurately which can
make it harder to prove liability or cause the
wrong party to be deemed responsible. It is
essential for car accident victims to look them
over for errors. Because car accident police
reports are the cornerstone of car accident
personal injury claims, accuracy is necessary.
