An accident report is an important document that is used to support your personal injury claim after a car accident. When an accident is reported, the law enforcement officer responding to the scene will usually prepare an accident report. The accident report contains crucial information relating to the officer's investigation of the accident. This information includes the name of the parties involved in the accident along with insurance information.
An accident report will provide comprehensive details about the accident. The responding law enforcement officer will usually prepare an accident report to document the investigation of the accident. The accident report usually contains information about who caused the accident, where the accident took place, what time of day the accident happened and other conditions. It also contains the names of the parties involved in the accident along with insurance information. If there are witnesses to the accident, the officer will usually include such information in the report as well. All of this information can be used by personal injury attorneys and insurance companies in the investigation of the accident.
An accident report also known as the "Wisconsin Motor Vehicle Crash Report" is available online through the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for a small fee. Generally, a reportable accident may take up to 10 days and sometimes longer to appear on the government website. Non-reportable accidents, meaning accidents that do not involve injury, substantial property damage or damage to government property, are treated differently and will not be on the Wisconsin Department of Transportation portal and will usually require an in-person, mail or email request from the responding law enforcement agency.
If you were injured in a car accident in the City of Milwaukee, you can also search for your accident report using the Traffic Accident Lookup page on the Official Website of the City of Milwaukee. To request information about a non-reportable car accidents, you can send a mail or email request to the Milwaukee Police Department Open Records Section.

If you are injured in an auto accident in Wisconsin through no fault of your own, you are entitled to receive compensation for your damages from the at fault driver.
Although Wisconsin drivers are required to maintain automobile insurance, not all Wisconsin drivers actually carry insurance. What happens if you are injured by a driver who does not have auto insurance and no personal assets to pay for your damages? How will you pay for your medical bills and associated expenses?
Fortunately, a Milwaukee car accident lawyer can help you receive compensation for your injuries caused by an uninsured driver or a hit-and-run driver through the uninsured motorist coverage of your own automobile insurance.
In Wisconsin, your automobile insurance includes uninsured motorist (UM) coverage. The uninsured motorist portion of your insurance policy applies if you, your family or other occupants in your vehicle are injured by another driver who does not have insurance or are injured by a hit-and-run driver. Uninsured motorist coverage also applies if you or your family are injured as a pedestrian when struck by an uninsured driver or a hit-and-run driver. Under these various circumstances, you may be entitled to claim the same types of damages as you would if you filed a claim against the at fault driver, such as medical bills, pain and suffering and lost wages.
If you were injured by a driver without insurance, you may be able to seek compensation from your own insurance company through your uninsured motorist coverage. You may be entitled to damages for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Uninsured motorist cases are handled with your insurance company similar to cases where the at fault driver has insurance. Auto insurance companies seek to limit what they pay in car accidents, even for their own injured customers. They may try to diminish the value of your case or fail to be forthcoming about your uninsured motorist benefits.
Sometimes the at fault driver may refuse to stop and flees the scene of the accident. If you were involved in a hit-and-run accident, it is important that you contact law enforcement right away.
If you were injured by a hit-and-run driver, you may be able to seek compensation from your own insurance company through your uninsured motorist coverage. You may be entitled to damages for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
