How To Get The Highway Patrol Report

 

Trooper K221 of the Kansas State Highway Patrol wrote up the report. The KSHP assigned report number 2016-017480 to this wreck. The KSHP charges $5.00 for each copy of the report plus additional fees of $2.00 for each witness statement. But you can call 877-925-1969 to request a free copy of the report. 

 

In order to get a report through the KSHP website, you must create a Kansas.gov account and give them your credit card. You must agree to be subject to Kansas Statute 45-230: Unlawful Use Of Names Derived From Public Records. This statute imposes on those subject to it "a civil penalty in an action brought by the attorney general or county or district attorney" of up to "$500 for each violation."

 

Additionally, unless you qualify under the federal Driver's Privacy Protection Act, the report you get will have important and necessary information such as photographs, social security numbers, driver license numbers, names, addresses and telephone numbers blacked out, or redacted.

 

Insurance Claim

 

Jones may have an insurance claim against Farmers, or another insurance company. A lawyer will maximize the amount collected from the insurance companies. In most cases, injured people can recover money for their medical bills, lost wages, and for their pain and suffering—even if a family member was driving. Getting a lawyer working on this case early will increase the amount Jones recovers for injuries. For more information watch 5 Reasons To Not Hire Your Local Lawyer.
