In some jurisdictions, the police or community service officer, after investigating an accident, give the parties a full police report. In other places, the police or officer give the people involved in the accident an “exchange of informaiton” form, which lists the insurance companies and the parties involved in an accident. In some other places, the police only give the people a card which shows the case number and the investigating agency that wrote the report. And sometimes, the clients are not given anything, either because the police made a mistake, or because the client was rushed away by accident or because the client is only a passenger and thus they were not given the case number or any information. A lot of people wait to hire a lawyer until they get the full police report, thinking that a lawyer will not handle their case until they have more information.

Certainly, at the law firm clients are not required to have a police report before the firm represents them. The first thing done after a client signs up would be to obtain the police report as quickly as possible but nonetheless the person will still be represented.
The police report is important for a case. It tells generally what happens. It includes the passengers in the cars and the insurance companies of the other people involved in the accident. But whether the police report is recieved upon taking a case or thereafter generally will not matter.
It is important to note that every case is unique and should be judged based on the specific facts of the case. The advice in this blog is intended to be general in nature and should not to be construed as specific advice for a case, as a minor difference in the facts of the case could change the result. Also, this blog is, as the web site suggests, based on Florida law and the laws of any other states or even another country could vary from Florida.
