In a Pedestrian Accident, do I Need to File a Police Report?
In Florida a police report is not required to file an insurance claim and may not be mandatory at times to file one, however, it is highly recommended and beneficial. A police report may be required if a car involved in the crash was so damaged it had to be towed from the scene. Having a police report may also serve as evidence to help prove your case. The police report provides documentation that your accident happened and it can also help establish that the other driver was a fault.
