Information
Depending on the damage from the accident and the insurance company, some requirements are sometimes necessary in filing a accident liability claim.
If an accident is severe enough and also if there is a question of liability, some drivers at times choose to file a police report or determine it is necessary to have the police on the scene. A Phoenix personal injury attorney may want to examine a police report if it has been made contemporaneous to the accident or shortly thereafter.
A police report could contain several pieces of information. Basic to a police report would be the recording street names, the intersection and locations of where the accident occurred. Driver and witness information may be recorded as well. The statements of the drivers and passengers can sometimes be useful and may be used by a Phoenix personal injury attorney.
Accidents that can be categorized as minor in nature, such as fender bender type accidents, may not involve a police report. In these accidents, there may be no need for police to direct or monitor traffic as the vehicles may still be moveable or ended up not even blocking traffic or creating a hazard at the time of the collision. Tow trucks may not be involved as in minor accidents, the vehicles involved are more likely to be safely operational.
