Picture this: You get badly hurt in a crash, which you didn’t cause, and you find out the police put you at fault. This truly is adding insult to injury. So many questions race through your head, but let me answer the most important one first. WHAT HAPPENS If the Crash Report Is Wrong or Someone Lied?
• Evidence from the scene, which could show the other driver’s story doesn’t add up. If the crash occurred near a business, you might even get surveillance video to prove exactly how it went down. • An accident reconstructionist, if the crash is serious enough. These experts analyze crash evidence to make a detailed determination on who caused the accident.
HOW COULD THIS EVEN HAPPEN IN THE FIRST PLACE?
DO I STILL HAVE A CASE?
Well, we’re all human. The officer didn’t witness the crash and may have received bad information at the scene, especially if you were on the way to the hospital when they arrived. Naturally, the other driver wants to protect themselves, even if it’s at your expense.
It’s definitely worth pursuing. Remember this: Police reports aren’t admissible in evidence. So, you can relax; the ultimate decision about fault is decided based on live testimony. And here’s a shocker: If the officer testifies, he often cannot give an opinion on who was at fault.
RIGHT THIS WRONG.
Insurance companies know this, so you can counteract an inaccurate police report to get a settlement.
To have any hope of obtaining compensation, you’ll need professional help. The insurance company will adamantly stand behind the report until you convincingly prove it wrong. That requires a compelling presentation of admissible evidence. You need a skilled, determined attorney who can investigate your case and convince the insurance company to let go of the mistaken police report. A lot is at risk when you try to take on the insurance company by yourself!
HOW DO I OVERCOME THE ACCIDENT REPORT?
You gather and present other evidence showing the officer is mistaken. That’s where an experienced car accident attorney makes the difference. For example, you may get: • Other witness statements. You might even have witnesses the officer didn’t speak to, and they might tell a different story from the one in the police report.

“In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” “The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” “Out of His fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is Himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made Him known.” –John 1:4–5, 14, 16–18
