Motor vehicle crash reports are confidential for a period of 60 days after the report is filed per
Fla. Stat. § Section 316.066(2)(a). However, such reports may be made immediately available to
the parties involved in the crash, their legal representatives, their insurance companies and
agents, prosecutorial authorities, law enforcement agencies, the Department of Transportation,
county traffic operations, victim services programs and certain print and broadcast media as
described in the exemption per Fla. Stat. § Section 316.066(2)(b).
In addition, the statute provides that any local, state or federal agency that is authorized to have
access to crash reports by any provision of law shall be granted such access in the furtherance of
the agency's statutory duties per Fla. Stat. § Section 316.066(2)(c).
To access a crash report within 60 days after the report is filed, a person "must present a valid
driver's license or other photographic identification, proof of status or identification that
demonstrates his or her qualifications to access that information, and file a written sworn
statement with the state or local agency in possession of the information stating that information
from a crash report made confidential and exempt by this section will not be used for any
commercial solicitation of accident victims, or knowingly disclosed to any third party for the
purpose of such solicitation, during the period of time that the information remains confidential
and exempt per Fla. Stat. § Section 316.066(2)(d).
We consider this request closed.
Sincerely,
