Following a car wreck in Ohio, law enforcement will typically put together an accident report that describes, among other things, where the collision occurred, what happened, whether anyone was given a ticket or issued a citation, and any witness names along with their statements.
Whether you are filing a claim with your insurance provider or seeking compensation from the other driver’s insurance company, having a copy of the car accident report can be crucial in determining liability.
Here is how to obtain a copy.
