accident report

Collision incident paperwork

An accident report is a formal document recording the details of an accident—what happened, when, where, who was involved, and what damage or injuries occurred.

Insurance companies, employers, and police departments require accident reports to establish facts, determine fault, and process claims: I had to file an accident report with HR after slipping in the break room.
