How to Get Your Horry County Collision Report and Why It Matters

If you were involved in a high-impact crash, the most important document for your insurance claim and legal recovery is the South Carolina Traffic Collision Report (Form FR-10). This document serves as the official narrative of the accident.

The report filed by the Horry County Police or the South Carolina Highway Patrol does more than just list the drivers' names. It includes the officer’s professional assessment of "contributing factors," such as distracted driving, failure to yield, or speeding. It also contains a visual diagram of the scene, the point of initial impact for each vehicle, and a list of any citations issued at the scene. For insurance adjusters, this report is the "gold standard" used to determine who should pay for the extensive medical bills and vehicle damage resulting from the entrapment.

In South Carolina, when you receive your FR-10 form at the scene or shortly after, you have a strict 15-day deadline to have your insurance company verify that you were covered at the time of the crash. Failure to submit this verification to the South Carolina Department of Public Safety can result in the suspension of your driver’s license, regardless of who caused the accident. An attorney can help you manage this paperwork during your recovery to ensure your driving privileges remain intact while your claim is being processed.
