Even in seemingly minor accidents, calling the police is essential. A police report serves as an official, unbiased document that records crucial details about the accident, including driver statements, witness information, and visible damages. This report becomes valuable evidence in your personal injury claim and can help establish fault.
Additionally, some injuries may not be immediately apparent at the accident scene but develop hours or days later. Without a police report, you might find it more challenging to link these injuries to the accident. Insurance companies often give more weight to claims supported by official police documentation.
