Why You Should File a Traffic Report ASAP
The accident report can be filed by either the driver, the police officers who arrive at the scene or passengers. You should file a report as soon as possible so you can use it as proof for a personal injury case, which will allow you to get compensated for your medical bills and wages you lost during your recovery. You can also receive compensation for emotional trauma you suffered. Here are a few reasons why this is important:- You can correct discrepancies in the crash report before the insurance companies receive
- Your insurance company can use it to prove your claims
- Your attorney will be able to move your case forward much sooner if they have the report
