When a car accident lawyer at Sam & Ash, LLP, meets with a prospective client, we first inquire whether there is a police accident report that we can review. The police report is the first record of a car accident. Insurers and others will take its contents as fact unless there is compelling evidence that it is incorrect. Therefore, you should obtain the police report as soon as you can after a car accident.
Suppose you have been seriously injured in a car crash caused by another motorist. In that case, Sam & Ash Injury Law is ready to help you obtain the accident report and understand your legal rights to demand compensation. You deserve What’s Right.
You can request a police report online, in person, or by mail.
