Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the questions buyers usually ask once the category, software, or rollout details start getting more specific.
No. The report should capture facts (conditions, the sequence of events, and the parties involved) not conclusions about fault. Leave fault determination to insurers and authorities.
As soon as it's safe to do so, ideally at the scene while memory and evidence are fresh. Keep a blank copy in every vehicle's glovebox.
Possibly: depending on severity, FMCSA-regulated operations may have post-accident testing and recordkeeping obligations. Verify the current rules that apply to your fleet and consult counsel for serious incidents.
The driver involved should complete their own report. If a passenger or witness has relevant details, capture their statement separately rather than having the driver fill it in secondhand: a report should reflect what each person actually observed.
