The first step in seeking recovery for your traffic accident in Colorado Springs, CO is filing a police report. But you also must access your police report after it has been filed, which you can do online or in person.
How Do I Get a Copy of a Police Report in Colorado Springs?
All traffic accidents must be reported immediately in the state of Colorado. If a police officer responds to the scene, they will gather all of the relevant information from both parties. This is required by law because it is extremely important to have a detailed and official record of what happened.
If you plan to file a claim with the insurance company for a wreck that you were involved in, they will ask you to obtain a copy of the official accident report. To obtain a copy of a traffic accident report written by a Colorado Springs Police Officer, go to the Police Department in person or request the report from Colorado Springs’ government website.
To pick up a copy of the accident report in person, go to the Colorado Springs Police Department at 705 S Nevada Ave, Colorado Springs, CO 80903.
To request the accident report online, set up an account here. Once you’re registered, you can search for your accident report by entering your name; the date, time, and location of the accident; and your case number.
Whether you request the accident report in person or online, you will also need to include the proper payment. There is a $7.50 fee for the copy of the report. Payment is accepted in the form of money order, personal check, or cash.
It is very important to acquire a copy of this document as soon as possible. Insurance companies will need to determine that the other party was at fault before you can be compensated for the damages suffered in the accident. The accident report will include such details as parties involved, who the officer found to be at fault, and the events that took place immediately following the accident. This firsthand account recorded by an officer is likely to be the most accurate way to determine who caused the accident.
