If you have been involved in a car accident in California, it is important to obtain a traffic report from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) to understand the details of the incident and take legal action if needed. At Kash Legal Group, Attorney Jonathan Kashani leads a team that is dedicated to helping accident victims with this process. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of how to request and obtain a CHP traffic report.

Understanding the Process 

Following a car accident, the CHP usually arrives at the scene and creates a thorough collision report. This report includes essential details such as the accident’s date, time, and location, along with the involved parties and witnesses. To obtain a copy of this report, you just need to follow a few simple steps

How to Request a CHP Traffic Report:  

  1. Complete the CHP 190 Form: To obtain your traffic report, begin by completing the CHP 190-Collision Request Form (PDF). You can download this form from the DMV website or obtain it from any CHP Area office. Please ensure that you provide as much information as possible, including the date and location of the accident, the names of the parties involved, and your contact information.  
  2. Submit the Form: After completing the form, you can submit it to the CHP Area office where the collision report was filed. You can do this in person or by mail. Don’t forget to include any applicable fees along with your request.  
  3. Wait for Processing: Once you’ve submitted your request, the CHP will process it and mail you an official copy of the traffic report. Please note that this process usually takes several days, so please be patient. 

What information is required on the CHP 190 Form? 

  • Collision/Incident Date: Provide the date of the accident, or an approximate date if you’re unsure. 
  • Collision/Incident Location: Provide as much detail as possible regarding the location of the accident. 
  • Driver or Owner: Provide the name of the driver or owner of the vehicle involved in the accident. If only the property was damaged, provide your name and address. 
  • Party of Interest: Check the appropriate box to indicate your relationship to the incident (e.g., Driver, Passenger, Property Owner). 
  • Applicant Information: Print your name, address, and contact information in the designated areas. 
  • Agency/Company: If applicable, provide the name of the government entity or insurance company requesting the report. 
  • Signature: Sign and date the form to certify that the information provided is accurate.
