Different jurisdictions have different standard forms and procedures that police use to create police reports following traffic accidents. To clearly understand the police report that describes your motorcycle crash, you are encouraged to talk to a motorcycle accident attorney sooner rather than later. It is especially important to do this before police or insurance company representatives follow up with a more detailed investigation after the crash.
Proner & Proner is a well-established motorcycle accident law firm representing injured motorcyclists nationwide. In virtually every motorcycle accident case we handle, a close examination of the police report is a first step to understanding all the facts of the accident. As soon after the motorcycle accident as possible, contact us at (888) 572-2172 to schedule a free initial consultation.
Common errors and flaws that we have found in police reports over the years have included the following:
- Factual errors — for example, a diagram showing vehicles in the wrong locations
- Contradictions that create impressions based on impossible scenarios
- Evidence of prejudice against motorcyclists
While it is important to examine the police report carefully, our motorcycle accident lawyers at Proner & Proner realize the importance of a more thorough, independent investigation. To that end, we work with accident reconstructionists to gain a more three-dimensional view of the accident. With this information, we develop theories of liability and prepare to present those to a law firm, a judge or a jury.
