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.
