Ep. 69 – Police Reports in Trucking Accidents: What Families Need to Know || After the Crash Podcast

Police reports are often seen as the “official story” after a crash—but are they always accurate? In this episode of After the Crash Podcast, attorney David Craig and paralegal Holly Hines answer one of the most common questions families ask after a semi-truck wreck: how much weight should you give a police report?

Police reports can provide details like witness names and statements, but they are not always complete—and sometimes they’re wrong. Many families are surprised to learn:

✔️ Reports are often delayed or missing information.

✔️ Trucking companies may use them to their advantage.

✔️ Reports can be challenged, corrected, or supplemented with investigation.

✔️ A report alone doesn’t determine fault in a truck accident case.

David and Holly share stories where the initial report wrongly placed blame—and how deeper investigation uncovered the truth. They also explain what families can do if they believe a police report is inaccurate, and why hiring an experienced truck accident lawyer with the right team makes all the difference.
