How to Use My Police Report
After a car accident in New York State that resulted in personal injury or death to anyone involved or property damage amounting to over $1,000, every driver involved in the crash is required to submit a Report of Motor Vehicle Accident (MV-104) to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) within ten days of the accident. This duty falls on every driver involved, regardless of whether or not the police also came to the scene and completed their own report of the incident.
You can complete the MV-104 by yourself online at the DMV website, but this form is not very user-friendly, to say the least. In fact, the MV-104 is the very same form used by the police when they file their accident report following an investigation. Police officers who respond to traffic accidents file these reports every day, and they are experts at it, but the crash victims themselves might be filling out the MV-104 for the very first time and find themselves confused and overwhelmed about how to do it.
My Police Report was developed to help you along through this process so you can file your Report of Motor Vehicle Accident as quickly and easily as possible. Use this website to walk you through the MV-104. You can save your progress as you complete the form and browse the website to get answers to any questions along the way.
