[[{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question","text":"After an auto accident in Indiana, especially one with injuries or fatalities, it\u2019s up to local law enforcement to file an accident report. This report typically contains an account of the basic facts of the accident as the officer understood them. The officer may issue a citation to one or more of the drivers involved in the crash.  That might seem like the end of the issue, but that\u2019s not necessarily true. When police issue a citation after an accident, they look at whether a driver committed a criminal traffic offense. Criminal responsibility is not the same as civil liability, however. A police report is not the final word when it comes to recovering compensation for your injuries.  You can use information from a police report to help build your case, but you can also use other evidence to show another driver was at fault for the crash. Depending on the circumstances of the accident, you may have been cited for your actions, but the other driver could still be fully or partially liable for your injuries. Talk to a car accident lawyer to learn more.","@id":"https:\/\/www.truittlawoffices.com\/blog\/police-report-whos-fault\/#Answer"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","name":"Truitt Police Report Blog Post FAQ page","mainEntity":{"@type":"Question","name":"Do the Police Determine Who Was at Fault for a Crash?","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.truittlawoffices.com\/blog\/police-report-whos-fault\/#Answer"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.truittlawoffices.com\/blog\/police-report-whos-fault\/#Question"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.truittlawoffices.com\/blog\/police-report-whos-fault\/#FAQPage"}],{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Blog","item":"https:\/\/www.truittlawoffices.com\/blog\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Does a Police Report Say Who Was at Fault in Indiana?","item":"https:\/\/www.truittlawoffices.com\/blog\/police-report-whos-fault\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
