When a car accident occurs in New York, police officers are required to respond to the accident, especially if someone sustained a serious injury or a fatality occurred in the crash. A local New York police officer or state trooper from the New York State Police will respond to the accident and fill out an official accident report. In New York, this report is officially called a New York State Department of Motor Vehicles Report of Motor Vehicle Accident. This report is a critical piece of evidence about your accident. Insurance companies and other parties responsible for financially compensating you for your accident often carefully review this report. You should do the same.

Make sure you get a copy of your official New York Police Accident Report as soon as possible. That way, you can verify that all of the information in this report is accurate.
