Common Causes of Car Accidents

There are roughly six million car accidents in the U.S. every year, thousands of which occur in Mississippi. Many accidents cause serious injuries – and some are even fatal. Car accidents can happen to anyone, even great drivers who operate their vehicles with care.

You may have a claim if your car accident was caused by:

• A negligent driver
• A drunk driver
• Dangerous roads
• Faulty car parts
• Road work/construction sites

Injuries sustained in these incidents can prove devastating, both physically and financially. You deserve to focus on recovering and moving on from the accident rather than worrying about the legal implications. Our Starkville car accident attorneys can handle the legal work for you so that you can heal.

Why a Police Report Is Important to Your Car Accident Case

Typically it takes about 48 hours for the police officer to generate their report, but once it's complete you have every right to obtain a copy. This report can be crucial to your case! The investigating officer will gather important information such as:

• Date, time, and location of the accident
• Type and extent of damage to vehicles and other property
• Personal information and statements from all persons involved
• Weather and road conditions at the time of the accident
• Descriptions of injuries to all involved
• Detailed vehicle descriptions

Additionally, if drugs or alcohol are suspected contributing factors, the police officer will conduct field sobriety tests. Before you and the investigating officer leaves the scene of the accident, be sure to get the service number of the report so you can get your copy when it's complete. If you don't have the service number, then you will need to provide the exact date and location of the accident in order to get a copy along with your personal identification.

Police reports are incrediblly persuasive for injury claims. Unlike the insurance adjuster who will likely offer a low-ball settlement amount at first, the police officer was physically at the scene as an objective witness. As an authority of the law, they have been trained to provide a reliable evaluation, therefore providing automatic credibility to your case.
