Question
Police report was taken after auto accident. Will it show who was cited?
Involved in an accident. Other party clearly at fault. Will the police issue a citation to the other driver? Would it be listed on the police report? If not, do you know who I can contact to see if one was issued?
Answer
The police cannot determine fault — only insurance adjustors can determine who was at fault, which can be based on a police report. When you file a claim, you should request the police report by contacting the police department. For more information, see our guide to claims which discusses how to file a claim and what to expect. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask.
