While a police report isn’t legally required to file a personal injury claim, it can be very helpful—especially if fault is disputed.

If you're hit by a car, injured due to unsafe road conditions, or involved in a collision with another cyclist or pedestrian, a police report helps by:

• Documenting the incident
• Identifying witnesses
• Recording initial statements
• Noting any traffic violations

If no report was filed at the scene, you should still:

• Take photos
• Get witness info
• Seek medical care right away
• File a report yourself with local law enforcement, if possible

And don’t worry if you didn’t get one immediately—we can still help build a strong case using medical records, surveillance footage, or traffic cams.
