New NJ law requires police to send accident reports by mail or fax
Feb 6th, 2007 | By Michael L. Saile, Jr., Esq. | Category: Blogs, Criminal & Traffic, New Jersey Injury InformationFinally, New Jersey police have been forced to catch up with technology. Prior to this new law, people involved in a New Jersey accident would have to physically drive to the local police station during normal business hours to obtain a copy of a police accident report. Now, thanks to the NJ legislature, police must forward a copy of the police accident report upon request. The new law does state that the person requesting the accident report may have to fill-out a special form and pay a reasonable fee.
