How Long Do You Have to Make or File a Police Report After a Car Accident?
In Georgia, drivers involved in car crashes are required to have a police report made if the accident results in property damage exceeding $500, injuries, or fatalities. Most reports are automatically created by an officer who responds to the scene. If no officer responds or is called, while Georgia law does not specify a strict deadline for filing a police report, you may call the police later and make a report. We recommend doing so promptly as this can can be crucial for any subsequent insurance claims or legal actions.
Why Is Some Information in My Georgia Accident or Incident Report Blacked Out?
In your Georgia accident or incident report, some information may be blacked out or redacted to protect personal and sensitive data. Georgia law mandates the safeguarding of personal information such as social security numbers, driver's license numbers, and personal addresses to prevent identity theft and protect individual privacy. Lawyers investigating an accident are often able to obtain an unredacted copy of the report for use in pursing a Georgia personal injury claim.
