Avoid Car Accident Bodily Injury Insurance Claim Denial With A Traffic Collision Report

Orange County Car Accident Lawyer Explains:

When the officer comes to the scene, they will interview you, the other party, and any witnesses. This forces the other party to provide their version of events to use against their insurance company. Without this, the other party might later claim that you caused the accident. Avoid this situation by requesting that the officer take statements for a traffic collision report.

Obtaining a Traffic Collision Report Helps Avoid Car Accident Bodily Injury Insurance Claim Denial

If the accident happens on the freeway, the likely responding agency is the California Highway Patrol (CHP). If it happens within the limits of a city, expect the County Sheriff or local Police Department.

Be aware that sometimes the officer will not allow the exchange of information. Instead, the officer will instruct the parties to wait for the traffic collision report to be published to obtain the other party's insurance information. This can cause a delay because the at-fault party might not report the claim to their insurance company. You can always go to the police station and ask the Watch Commander for a copy of the face page. The face page of the traffic collision report will contain the party information and nothing more.
