Your Police Report Could Be Wrong About Your Accident — Here’s How to Fix It
A car accident hits hard — glass, metal, adrenaline, chaos. Then comes the paperwork.
The police report is supposed to represent what happened. But what if it doesn’t? What if it leaves out critical facts, twists your words, or worse — blames you?
At Solution Law, we’ve helped countless clients correct their accident report, rebuild their case, and secure the compensation they deserve.
Why Police Reports Get It Wrong
Officers arrive after the accident — not during. They're reconstructing events with limited context, under pressure, and often using biased or incomplete statements.
- Wrong vehicle listed as at fault
- Key witnesses omitted
- Misrepresented driver quotes
- No mention of road or weather conditions
- Inaccurate or missing diagrams/photos
When a Bad Report Destroys Your Case
Even a minor mistake in the report can undermine your entire case. We’ve seen $25K settlements turn into nothing — simply because the report didn’t match reality.
- Insurance denies or reduces your claim
- You’re falsely blamed
- Your injuries are downplayed or ignored
- Your case collapses in court
3 Types of Police Report Errors You Can Challenge
1. Factual Mistakes
Wrong date, wrong name, wrong car — these are black-and-white errors that can and should be corrected fast.
2. Errors of Omission
When important details are simply missing: witnesses, road hazards, diagrams, or passenger input.
3. Officer’s Opinion
Statements like “Driver appeared distracted” are interpretations, not facts — but they’re often treated like truth.
How to Fix a Police Accident Report in California
✅ 1. Request the Report
Get it directly from the responding department. Don’t rely on the insurance company.
✅ 2. Review Every Line
Compare it to your photos, dash cam footage, witness statements, and medical records.
✅ 3. Identify the Problem
Label it: is it factual, missing, or based on opinion?
✅ 4. Gather Evidence
Support your version with hard documentation — photos, bills, reports, witness statements.
✅ 5. Submit a Formal Amendment
Contact the officer or department in writing. Request a supplemental report with your corrections.
