Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about getting your accident report
Is this service free?
Yes, absolutely! We provide accident reports at no cost to you. There are no hidden fees, no subscription charges, and we never ask for credit card information.
Where do you get your data?
We compile accident information from publicly available news sources, including local news outlets and press releases. Our system organizes this information by location and date so you can find relevant accidents in your area.
How long does it take to find information?
Our search shows available information from news sources immediately. Official police reports must be obtained from the responding law enforcement agency, typically 5-14 business days after the incident.
Will a lawyer contact me?
Only if you were injured and qualify for legal assistance. If you indicate you were injured, we may connect you with experienced personal injury attorneys for a free case review. This is entirely optional and you can decline at any time.
What information do I need to get my report?
You'll need basic details about the accident: the date it occurred, the location (city/county and state), and the type of incident. The more details you provide, the faster we can locate your report.
What if my accident isn't in your system?
Our database only includes accidents covered by news sources. If your accident isn't listed, you'll need to contact your local police department or sheriff's office directly for the official police report.
Can I use this report for insurance claims?
Yes, the report we provide can be used for insurance purposes and documentation. For legal proceedings or official court matters, you may need a certified copy directly from the police department.
What states do you cover?
We're actively expanding our coverage across the United States. Currently, we have accident information for select states and cities where we have reliable public data sources. Visit our Accidents page to see which states currently have coverage. We add new regions as more data sources become available.
Is my information secure?
Yes, we take data security seriously. All information you provide is encrypted and stored securely. We never sell your information to third parties. Your data is only used to locate your accident report.
How do I know if I need a lawyer?
Consider talking to a lawyer if: you suffered injuries requiring medical treatment, you missed work due to the accident, the other party was at fault, or insurance companies are offering low settlements. A free consultation can help you understand your options.
