You can request your accident report in person at the Glendale Police Department or secure it online through LexisNexis. A copy of your report will cost around $16.
There are specific instructions down below. You can also visit the Glendale Police Department website for more information.
Requesting a Collision Report from the Glendale Police Department
Before you go in search of a collision report, you should consider if anyone else is securing this report for you. If your accident only involved property damage, your insurance agent may already be requesting your report for you. If you’ve hired a Maison Law Car Accident Lawyer to handle your case, your lawyer will be obtaining this report for you.
Otherwise, if you were involved in the accident, you are permitted to request a copy of your report. One important thing to know is that you should wait at least 7 days before you try to allow the officer time to complete the accident report. If an investigation into your accident or the person who caused it continues, you may have to wait longer.
You may secure your accident report online or by going down to the police station.
For in-person requests, you’ll need to visit the Records Bureau public counter. It’s open from Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. except for holidays. A copy will cost you $16.

Do I Need a Lawyer After a Glendale Car Accident?
When accidents involve only property damage or very minor injuries, you may not need the help of an attorney to get fair treatment. But when you suffer serious injuries such as a broken bone or a head injury, you may need the protection of a skilled lawyer.
As hospital bills grow, car insurance adjusters seek ways to avoid having to accept responsibility. They’ll try to blame you for the accident and stick you with the bills. They might also downplay the injuries you’ve suffered so they can get away with offering far less than you need to pay for recovery.
Don’t end up footing the bill for a major injury that you received through no fault of your own. Contact a Glendale Car Accident Lawyer to schedule a free, no-obligation case consultation. If you need our help, you won’t need to have any money to hire us. We don’t get paid unless we win your case for you. Then, our fee comes out of the insurance settlement we earn for you.
