the officer to discuss your concerns. The officer has the
final say in how the report is written. Who pays for damage and other related costs is a matter which must be
determined in civil court and/or between insurance
companies. You should contact your insurance agent and/or an
attorney. |

information on the accident report is not valid. What can I
