CENTREVILLE, Va., July 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Carfax today
announced that automobile accident reports from police departments
across the U.S. now are accessible through its accident reports
service, Crashdocs.org. Insurers, lawyers and other interested
parties can order accident reports from all 50 U.S. states and the
District of Columbia through an
easy-to-use online site. In addition, Carfax does not add
convenience fees to accident reports ordered through Crashdocs.org,
in many cases making them the same price that's charged at the
police station.
"Before using Crashdocs.org, obtaining car accident reports
involved additional time, travel expense and long waits," said
Wayne Rexrode, senior claims
representative at Virginia Farm Bureau Insurance. "I either had to
make trips to the various police departments for crash reports or I
had to write away for the reports. Crashdocs.org by Carfax is
helping to reduce those time wasters and in our business, time is
definitely money."
People who need information about a specific crash can easily
order the police accident report online through Crashdocs.org
instead of taking time to visit the police station. Thousands of
users nationwide, including many major insurers, turn to
Crashdocs.org for their accident report needs. There is no cost to
create a Crashdocs.org account and no added fees from Carfax to
order the accident reports online.
"We're excited to make Crashdocs.org even more valuable to
people who need police crash reports," said Tom Scheffer, Crashdocs.org manager. "We're
rolling out expanded nationwide coverage to help anyone get the
accident information they need more quickly and conveniently. In
addition, police agencies have another powerful tool that helps
reduce administrative costs and make their communities safer."
