If you prefer, you may also be able to mail your request by filling out a request form. After you complete the physical form, mail it to the following address:
Attention: Crash Reports Unit

You may need to wait at least 15 days after the crash date in order to submit the application. Depending on where you are in Pennsylvania, the fee to receive the crash report may be between $22 and $25. If you need additional assistance, a car accident lawyer may be able to help you collect other relevant evidence.
How Can a Pennsylvania Car Accident Lawyer Help?
If you have been in a car accident, you may want to hire a qualified personal injury lawyer to get the necessary help. Your lawyer may be able to assist you in the following ways:
- Legal knowledge

- Maximize your compensation
- Lower your fault

If you are planning on taking legal action, we strongly recommend you avoid representing yourself.
