Our Columbus car accident attorneys at Oliver Law Office understand how vital a vehicle collision report is when pursuing an insurance claim after a crash.

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.

How to Obtain an Ohio Vehicle Collision Report

There are multiple ways to obtain an Ohio vehicle collision report.

The Ohio Department of Public Safety (ODPS) receives crash reports on public roadways from all law enforcement agencies in Ohio for statistical purposes only. Crash reports provided on this website are not official documents, however.

To obtain the official report, contact the agency investigating the crash, which varies by city and jurisdiction. This information will be available in the free ODPS system and can lead you directly to the law enforcement branch and online system that responded to your accident.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol:

The Ohio State Highway Patrol maintains complete crash reports and photographs from crashes investigated by the Ohio State Highway Patrol only. Crash reports and photos are retained for five years.

The Crash Ordering System provides:

  • Crash report only: $4.00 each.

  • crash photos only (DVD): $12.00 per photos per report (regardless of how many DVDs must be burned for each report).
  • Crash report and photos (Download): $4.00 total.
  • Crash report and photos (DVD) $12.00 total.
