Search for Rhode Island Crash Reports Online

When you're involved in an accident, there is usually a corresponding accident report that's either taken by law enforcement or submitted by the involved parties. Accident or crash reports are important when you need to prove your innocence in a legal case or if you want insurance company records of the incident. Even in situations where you may not think you need a copy yourself, it's a good idea to have your own record of it by obtaining a copy to keep in your personal files. This is because a crash report contains all of the important information about a crash all contained within an official document. It usually outlines who was involved in the crash, any injuries or property damage, the location, who was at fault, and more. Without a crash report, it can be difficult to prove your case in court or with your insurance company.
