How to Access a Car Accident Police Report in Pompano Beach, FL

You can access a car accident police report in Pompano Beach, Florida, in three ways. You can request a copy by mail, purchase a copy online, or go to a law enforcement agency to obtain a report in person. A Pompano Beach personal injury lawyer from our law firm can secure a police car accident report for you. 

Accident reports can be critical evidence in a car accident case. These reports provide an objective account of how the collision happened and speak to who is liable for damages. 

Ways to Obtain a Car Accident Police Report in Pompano Beach, FL

You must obtain a car accident police report as soon as possible because it is an essential piece of your case. You (or a Pompano Beach car accident lawyer) may obtain your records:

Through the Broward County Sheriff’s Office

The Broward County Sheriff’s Office explains that you can submit a record request through its Public Records Unit. It notes that you should generally request records through its online portal, but you may get further instruction by:

• Visiting a sheriff’s office in person
• Calling the sheriff’s office
• Emailing the sheriff’s office

You can also hire an attorney from our team. We will allow you to rest while we obtain the accident report and perform a wide range of other duties on your behalf.

Through the State Records Database

The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) is “the state’s official repository for crash records.” You might be able to obtain a car accident report through this database, and we can do so for you.

If there is another way to obtain a crash report, we will identify and exercise that option. Through one way or another, we will obtain documentation of your accident.

Additional Evidence Our Team Will Gather for Your Pompano Car Accident Case

A car accident police report is one of many relevant pieces of case evidence. Other relevant evidence (which your Pompano Beach car accident lawyer will secure) includes:

• Video footage: This valuable evidence can show exactly how a car accident happened. We may source footage from security cameras, traffic cameras, dash cameras, and other recording devices. 
• Witness accounts: Witness accounts can also be valuable, especially when a witness has no apparent reason to lie. We will obtain existing witness accounts. If necessary, we will also interview or re-interview eyewitnesses to your accident.
• Expert services: We work with experts in Pompano Beach (and nearby areas) at no additional cost. These experts may testify about liability, reconstruct the accident with digital software, and help us document the accident’s cause.
• Statements from those involved in the accident: The words and actions of liable parties can serve as evidence. For instance, if another motorist apologized to you after the accident or told a police officer they caused the collision, these statements could bolster your case.

Each car accident case produces different types of evidence. Our team will complete a thorough investigation of your collision. We will secure all evidence that could help us obtain the compensation you deserve.
