When Your Police Report is Inaccurate?

When Your Police Report is Inaccurate?
2
Mistakes in Police Reports
To err is human. This is why there are laws out
there meant to protect you. Sometimes police
reports may contain errors you may need to
correct. If this is your case, you may request
having your police report amended. While
challenging a police report may seem easy, it can
be difficult at times since you must gather
sufficient evidence to prove the information in
your police report is inaccurate.
3
Personal Injury Claim
Accurate documentation of your accident is
essential to the outcome of your Personal Injury
Claim. This is particularly true for vehicle
accidents where the police generally provide an
account of the accident. While this information
may not be used in court, your Ventura County car
accident attorney will take a look at it and
consider what it says.
4
Witness Statements
Perhaps you disagree with a witness statement.
Remember people tend to dramatize their account
of things. If the police are unwilling to change
or amend your police report, you can always
attach your account of the Accident to the police
report. The officer will decide whether or not
your story is credible. It is important you try
your best to have an accurate police report as it
may impact the outcome of your case and the
amount of settlement may be far less than you
expected.
5
At The Scene Of The Accident
This is where things happened and you must
document every detail you remember. It is best if
you write down this information immediately after
the accident. Some things to keep in mind include

• Place, date and time where the accident occurred.
• Details about injuries sustained in the accident.
• Your personal info and statements from witnesses.
• How was the weather at the time of the accident?
• Details about the vehicles involved in the
  collision
• Details about damage to vehicles
• Causes of the accident

Last Steps
The police generally take pictures of the
accident scene and of the damages caused by the
accident. If there is evidence that a Driver was
Under the Influence, a field sobriety test will
also be administered. If the cars are in bad
shape, the police may also call a towing company
to have the vehicles removed from the street.
