ACCIDENT REPORTS

We offer what is called a "Courtesy Report" for this purpose. As a convenience to parties who have been involved in a minor, non-inury accident, which was investigated at the scene, the report below is made available as a courtesy for insurance purposes. 

No warrant is made by the Homewood Police Department as to the factual accuracy of this report. The Homewood Police Department investigates all traffic accidents which occur within the city limits of Homewood, at the scene of such accidents.

Note: If an officer has already filled out an accident report for your incident, you don’t need to complete a courtesy report.

The SR-13 (Safety Responsibility Accident Report) is required by the State of Alabama. The SR-13 should be filed anytime there is property damage greater than $250.00. It should be mailed in within 30 days of the accident.

 It is in your best interest to file the SR-13 because the at-fault driver may turn out to be uninsured. The Alabama Department of Public Safety can suspend the at-fault party's license until compensation is received by you or your insurance company from the uninsured. The State can only take this action if an SR-13 has been properly filled out and filed with the department.

 In certain situations, a driver's license will be suspended for failure to file an SR-13. Usually, the person who is at-fault in the accident is the only one to get suspended.
