SR-13 Personal Accident Report
The Atlanta Police Department has announced that it is no longer responding to accidents in which no injury is reported due to Covid-19 concerns. The difficulty is that soft tissue injuries present in a delayed fashion, hours or even 1-3 days after the initial accident occurs. Many of the people who eventually need medical care for these types of injuries do not initially know they are injured.
We encourage everyone to print out an SR-13 form (accident report form) and place it in their glove box for future reference if they are ever involved in an accident in which the police do not respond. In that situation, you can fill out the complete form and take photos of all the damaged vehicles and their placement on the roadway. Request that other drivers provide proof of insurance and take pictures of them, their card, and their occupants. However, if any additional driver refuses, then do not get confrontational. Our attorneys also recommend that people make 911 calls to support the accident report information. We believe these steps on your part will go a long way in preventing issues that could occur further down the road.
