    Default Getting a Court Report from Car Accident Suit

    I want to obtain a court report for a case where someone sued someone else over a car accident. The only type of things I could find were ways to get a criminal background check, and I was pretty sure that wasn't the same.
    Can anyone tell me the ways to obtain copies of court reports for car accident suits?
    Thanks

    First you need to find out which court was used when the someone sued the someone else. Small claims, civil, etc. Then you go to where that courthouse keeps their records and you ask to see the files. You can write down any info you need or you can make photocopies of the pages there - usually for a fee.

    You need to list your state for more specific info.

    The state it took place in is Pennsylvania, and I am not sure of that specific info. Also, I am currently in a different state. Is there a way to find out that information without knowing very many details.

    There are 67 counties in PENN. You would need to research each one to see if they have an online data base where you can search the criminal and civil files to see if you can find the case you're interested in learning about. Once you find the case number then you can contact the appropriate courthouse to find out how to get a copy of that file.

    I tired to get a copy of a court report from a car accident suit in the state of West Virginia, and I was told that you need the case number and if you don't have that, you can't get it.
    Nice little catch 22 going on here, don't you think?
