How to File Car Accident Report in #cities:t#, #stab:u#

Car accident reports and records can all be accessed by the public in Florida, although they are not a part of public records until after 60 days from the date of the accident.

If you need a copy of your car accident report before then, you need to complete an affidavit allowing you earlier access to the report.

If you are one of the parties involved in the accident, you can easily file an affidavit online at the state’s Highway Patrol website. Alternatively, you can pick up a form to complete at a sheriff’s office or police department.

The most common way of accessing a copy of your car accident report is by requesting it from the records division of the law enforcement agency that uploaded it to the state’s Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.

Before leaving the accident scene, the police officer who responded to your call will most likely hand you a receipt with the identification number of your police report.

If this is the case, feel free to call the traffic division of the law enforcement agency, pay the required administrative fee and obtain a copy of your report.
