Should I File a Police Report After a Motorcycle Accident?

Typically, you should report an injury crash to a local law enforcement agency. You should call 911 at the scene of the accident. After a police officer responds to the scene and collects information from the parties involved in the motorcycle crash, the officer will prepare an accident report. Colorado also allows drivers to report accidents through the Colorado Department of Motor Vehicles website when a crash involves:

• No fatalities or injuries
• Drives who stay on the scene and share information
• No public property damaged
• No parties involved under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

You can order a copy of the report later on from the agency which prepared it such as the Denver Police Department or Colorado State Patrol.
