How to Obtain a Motor Vehicle Accident Report in Kentucky
Jan 9th, 2012
When you have been involved in a motor vehicle accident in Kentucky, it’s very important to quickly begin taking action to pursue any legal action that may be appropriate. When the other driver is at fault, their insurance company will be working hard to mitigate their risk of loss. One important early step is to obtain the official traffic accident report. Collision reports can be obtained from your local state police post, or can be purchased online at www.kyonlinereports.com. They are usually $10 to purchase online. Paper reports are $5 and require a written request and a self addressed, stamped envelope.
If the state police are not the investigating agency, you will need to contact the office of whichever agency is handling the accident. This may be a county sheriff or the police department of a town or municipality.
The request must be made by an authorized party to the accident. This includes both drivers or any passengers involved, parents or guardians of any minors involved in the accident, insurance companies, and the attorneys of either party.
In addition to acquiring the official accident report, you will want to quickly contact a personal injury attorney with experience handling motor vehicle accident cases.
