After a car wreck in Baton Rouge, your accident report is a critical piece of evidence for your claim. Here’s how you can get a copy:

• If the Baton Rouge Police Department responded to your crash, you can request your accident report by visiting their headquarters at 9000 Airline Highway, Baton Rouge, LA 70815. Reports are usually available within 5–7 business days. Bring a government-issued ID and any relevant information about the accident, such as the date, time, and location.
• Suppose the Louisiana State Police handled your accident (common on highways or interstates). In that case, reports can be obtained online through the Louisiana State Police website or by submitting a request to their headquarters by mail.
• For accidents investigated by the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office, request your report in person at their office or call ahead for details on the process.

Keep your accident report in a safe place—it documents essential information like fault, witness statements, and a diagram of the scene. If you’re having trouble tracking it down or the process feels overwhelming, we’re here to help guide you every step of the way.
