Under California law, a minor cannot initiate a personal injury lawsuit alone. Parents or legal guardians must submit personal injury claims for them. As a guardian, you can seek compensation for your child's medical bills, pain, and suffering.
Accident report forms should include fields for names and contact information of the individuals and witnesses involved, the type of accident, the date and time the accident occurred, the location of the accident, a detailed description of the accident, and room for any additional comments.
If your car accident report is inaccurate, contact the officer who filed the report immediately. They may be able to help make changes before they finalize the report. Be sure to be polite with the officer, since they will be more likely to make those changes if you are respectful.
Complaint Procedure You should first contact the Sheriff's station where the incident occurred. You may also contact the Sheriff's Professional Standards Bureau to file a complaint.
You can request a copy of a report from the Sheriff's station that wrote the report, or responded to the incident. If within 14 days of the incident, please contact the handling station to confirm the report is available. You may also request a copy of a report via mail or by contacting the Information Services Bureau.
