Step Two: Get a Copy of the Accident Report

To handle your own personal injury case without an car accident lawyer, you will also need the accident report from the police and the disposition. Here is a sample letter that I use in my litigation practice to request it.

Municipal Court of Atlanta
Attn: Traffic Division
150 Garnett Street
Atlanta GA 30303

Re: Jane Doe vs. Betty Smith
D/A: 12/30/2006

To Whom it May Concern:

I would appreciate you sending, at your earliest convenience, the accident report and the disposition of the traffic ticket relating to the following accident:

Date of Accident: 12/30/06

Case No.:

Location of Accident: Corner of Jones St. and Phillips St. in Atlanta, Georgia

Drivers Involved: Your Name and the Other Party's Name


If a plea of guilty was entered, please furnish me with a certified copy at our cost.
Enclosed please find my check to cover the expense of this report. (call ahead to ask for the costs as they won't mail you anything without paying)

Thank you for your anticipated assistance in this matter.

Sincerely
