What's on your report, and why it matters
A standard crash report records the date, time, and location of the crash; the vehicles, drivers, and any passengers involved; a diagram of how the crash happened; any citations issued; and the officer's notes on contributing factors and fault. Insurers use this report as their starting point, so double-check that the facts, especially the fault narrative, are accurate before you rely on it.
