An important piece of evidence to support your case for compensation after your Michigan car accident is an official police crash report.

Known as the State of Michigan Traffic Crash Report (UD-10), this document is written by the law enforcement agency that responds to your crash – usually a local police department or the Michigan State Police. The report tells the story of the accident according to the officer’s investigation. It is a significant factor in determining what caused an accident and it has a big impact on your compensation.

The insurance company reviews this report to determine compensation, and you should do the same. It's important that you get a copy of your report and understand what it says. Getting the report, however, can sometimes be a hassle. Below is a summary of how to get a copy of your Michigan crash report. Or you could search here.

Remember: If you have a Michigan car accident lawyer, they can do the legwork necessary to make the request and get this document for you.

Michigan’s crash reports are maintained by the state police (MSP). They are available online for $10 through the Traffic Crash Purchasing System. Payment is with credit cards only. Reports are typically made available 3-30 days after the crash. You may need to disable your pop-up blocker and download Adobe for all the website’s features to work.

To buy the report, you must know the crash date and information about at least one driver involved. In some circumstances, a crash or incident report number may be required. You can get this information from the law enforcement agency that investigated the crash.
