Filing an Accident Report in Alabama 

When you’re involved in an Alabama car crash, contacting law enforcement is one of the first things you should do, second only to checking on the wellbeing of everyone involved. Once an officer arrives on the scene, they’ll record the specific details of your accident, such as:

  • The precise location of the crash, including coordinates and cross streets
  • Identities and contact information for those involved
  • Vehicle information, such as license plate and VIN numbers
  • The extent of the damages or injuries sustained in the wreck
  • Details of any fatalities
  • Narrative and diagrams of the crash
  • Road conditions
  • Commercial vehicle information (if applicable)

After the officer completes their report, it will be filed with their local jurisdiction. Reports are typically available to the public within ten days of the accident. 

what happens once an officer takes a report?

When the responding officer has enough information to file an accident report, they will do so immediately. 

If you were on a state highway or interstate and a trooper investigated the collision, you would have to wait at least 14 days to request a copy from the Arizona Department of Public Safety.

If you were in an accident that occurred on a city, town, or county road, you would have to request the report from the law enforcement agency in that jurisdiction. For example, the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office provides a copy of the report within 7 to 14 days.

The Arizona Department of Public Safety charges $9 to mail, email, or fax it. If you want it on a CD, the fee is $10.

Many sheriff’s offices and local police departments allow you to purchase a copy of your crash report online, but there is a $5 report fee plus a convenience fee.

FreeArizonaAccidentReport.com is Arizona’s official site for obtaining a certified copy of your accident report 100% free of charge. All you have to do is request a copy of your report here, and we’ll deliver your copy immediately once it is available. 

While obtaining a copy of your report through the state’s website is possible, these entities charge fees for delivering your report.  

We don’t think that you should ever have to pay for information that rightfully belongs to you. We also understand that you often have other expenses to deal with after a crash and don’t want to be nickel-and-dimed for something like a crash report.

This is why we won’t ask you to pay a single penny for your official state-certified crash report.
