Importance of the Police Report

So, how do you get a copy of your police report after a car accident in Louisville, Kentucky? First, know that the police report is important for any car accident injury case. The police report lists the name and contact information of all drivers involved in the accident and also the insurance information for each driver. It also provides the investigating police officer's opinion of how the accident happened after the officer has completed their investigation.

Steps to Obtain Your Police Report

Using Buycrash.com

Typically, after you've been involved in a motor vehicle accident, the investigating police officer will give you a Buycrash.com receipt. It's a small form with the information you'll need to pull the police report from Buycrash.com. If you have this form, you should be able to go to Buycrash.com, provide the information on the form, and pull your police report. The cost to pull the police report from Buycrash.com is currently $10.

Emailing LMPD

So, what if you don't have the Buycrash.com form from the police officer? Well, the easiest way is to email LMPD Accident Report at LouisvilleKY.gov. Again, that's LouisvilleKY.gov. Indicate in your email that you are requesting a police report. Provide them with the date of the accident, the location where the accident occurred, and your name or the person's name involved in the accident. Ask if they can email you a copy of the police report. They will either email you a copy of the police report or provide you with the information you need to pull the police report.
