Information for injured workers in North Carolina

Q: What can you tell me about a police report?

A: Also known as an Accident Report and officially called the NC Crash Report, the police report data is written by a police officer who is called to the scene of the accident.  To see samples of reports, please look under "Library" in the left column of our website.  This report is the officer's version of the events and facts that surround your collision. 

There is a tremendous amount of information crammed into this little report.  For example, the details on the form may include the location of the accident, the vehicles, parties, witnesses and/or pedestrians involved (including the license number and insurance information of each).  The officer may estimate speed, vehicle damage, factors that led to the collision and if any driver is at fault.  You will notice small boxes to the left and right of the main data area.  They contain info in code that is a quick way for the office to note details such as lighting or injury status.  Click here for a link to learn how to interpret the info in the boxes.

The crash sequence on the report is developed by the officer after completing his or her investigation.  A diagram is also normally included.  It is very important to get a copy of this report as soon as possible after the accident to verify it for accuracy.
