How it works

Last updated October 26, 2026

MyCrashReport publishes the crash data that some states and cities release to the public. Here is what we do, and what only the state or the police agency can do.

1. Find the crash

Start from the search page: choose the state, then narrow by city, street and dates. If you have the case number from the paperwork the officer gave you, enter it on Find my record and we take you straight to the record when we hold it.

Records reach us some time after the crash. How long depends on the state: each state page says how current its records are. If your crash is not here yet, that usually means it has not reached the state's public data, not that it did not happen.

2. Read the crash record

A crash record shows what the state published from the officer's report, such as when and where the crash happened, the vehicles, how many people were hurt, the road, weather and light conditions, and the agency that took the report. We show it in the state's own terms and add nothing.

We never show names, license plates or driver's license numbers, and a person under 18 is shown only as under 18. A contributing factor or charge recorded by an officer is not a finding of fault or a conviction.

3. Request the officer's report

The full officer's report is held by the state or by the police agency that took it, and they decide who may have a copy and what it costs. On every record page, and in each state guide, we show the form, the fee and where to send the request. We do not hold or sell officer's reports.

If you were hurt

If you or a passenger were hurt, you can ask for a free consultation with a participating law firm that you choose by name, or one assigned at random from those listed for your state. My Crash Report LLC calls you to confirm your request and connects you with the firm. See Disclosures for how the advertising program works.
