police report is common and is not a reason to give up on your claim. Speaking on camera in 2026, Matthew Graham, managing litigation attorney, said DFW officers are stretched thin and sometimes will not come to a scene, and that our team gathers evidence to back your version.<\/p><blockquote class=\"jf-quote\"><p>\u201cWe collect evidence to support your version of how the accident happened.\u201d<\/p><footer><cite>Matthew Graham<\/cite> <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/gv_0_p4g6hU?t=19\">at 0:19<\/a><\/footer><\/blockquote><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"jq-sec alt\" aria-labelledby=\"jq-pts-h\"><div class=\"wrap\"><h2 id=\"jq-pts-h\">Key points from Matthew<\/h2><ul class=\"jq-pts\"><li><span class=\"jq-n\" aria-hidden=\"true\">1<\/span><p>Police officers handle so many accidents around DFW that they sometimes refuse to come out to an accident scene at all.<\/p><\/li><li><span class=\"jq-n\" aria-hidden=\"true\">2<\/span><p>When there is no report and both drivers blame each other, Matthew Graham calls it a common situation and nothing to be worried about.<\/p><\/li><li><span class=\"jq-n\" aria-hidden=\"true\">3<\/span><p>Our team is used to these fights over fault and prepares for them by gathering proof that backs the account you give.<\/p><\/li><li><span class=\"jq-n\" aria-hidden=\"true\">4<\/span><p>Because evidence often disappears after a collision, a firm can secure it once you are receiving treatment, so your details are not lost.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/section><section class=\"jq-sec\" aria-labelledby=\"jq-detail-h\"><div class=\"wrap jq-two\"><div class=\"jq-detail\"><h2 id=\"jq-detail-h\">When both drivers blame each other<\/h2><p>Matthew Graham describes this as a familiar picture. Police around DFW are so busy that officers sometimes refuse to show up, and the result is an accident with no report and two drivers each pointing at the other. He does not treat that as a warning sign for your claim.<\/p><p>His reasoning is practical. The firm has seen these disputes many times and prepares for them in advance. With no officer&#x27;s version on paper, the work shifts to building the record ourselves, which means gathering evidence that supports how you say the accident happened to you.<\/p><\/div><aside class=\"jq-next\" aria-labelledby=\"jq-next-h\"><h2 id=\"jq-next-h\">If no officer came to your crash<\/h2><ol><li>Write down your own account of the collision now, including the final position of both vehicles and what each driver said.<\/li><li>Do not assume the claim is over because nobody wrote a report; ask our team how your facts can be backed up.<\/li><li>Get medical care first, then let us start gathering the evidence that supports your side.<\/li><\/ol><\/aside><\/div><\/section><section class=\"jq-sec alt\" aria-labelledby=\"jq-rel-h\"><div class=\"wrap\"><div class=\"jq-deeper\"><p class=\"jq-label\">Read next on our site<\/p><p class=\"jq-rel\">Steps for protecting your claim when officers never filed a report are laid out in <a href=\"https:\/\/severeinjurylawyers.com\/no-police-report-car-accident-texas\/\">our no police report page<\/a>.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"jq-relh\"><h2 id=\"jq-rel-h\">Related questions<\/h2><a class=\"jq-all\" href=\"https:\/\/severeinjurylawyers.com\/faq\/\">See all 23 questions<\/a><\/div><div class=\"jc-grid\"><article class=\"jc\"><div class=\"jc-img\"><img src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/d1p6fvtPqns\/hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"Sameer Assanie answering on video\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><span class=\"jc-play\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"M8 5v14l11-7z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"jf-len\">0:55<\/span><\/div><div class=\"jc-body\"><h3><a href=\"https:\/\/severeinjurylawyers.com\/faq\/adjuster-calls-before-leaving-scene\/\">What should I do when an insurance adjuster calls after a crash?<\/a><\/h3><p class=\"jc-by\">Sameer Assanie<\/p><\/div><\/article><article class=\"jc\"><div class=\"jc-img\"><img src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/antA7WJg834\/hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"Matthew Graham answering on video\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><span class=\"jc-play\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"M8 5v14l11-7z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"jf-len\">1:08<\/span><\/div><div class=\"jc-body\"><h3><a href=\"https:\/\/severeinjurylawyers.com\/faq\/call-at-fault-drivers-insurer\/\">Should I speak with the other driver\u2019s insurer after a crash?<\/a><\/h3><p class=\"jc-by\">Matthew Graham<\/p><\/div><\/article><article class=\"jc\"><div class=\"jc-img\"><img src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/l0UDJR5J3R4\/hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"Matthew Graham answering on video\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><span class=\"jc-play\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"M8 5v14l11-7z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"jf-len\">1:07<\/span><\/div><div class=\"jc-body\"><h3><a href=\"https:\/\/severeinjurylawyers.com\/faq\/do-i-have-car-accident-case\/\">Do I have a case after a car accident?<\/a><\/h3><p class=\"jc-by\">Matthew Graham<\/p><\/div><\/article><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"jf-close\" aria-labelledby=\"jf-close-h\"><div class=\"wrap\"><h2 id=\"jf-close-h\">No report does not mean no options<\/h2><p class=\"jf-cl\">If the officers never arrived, you still have someone to call.
