Trenton Personal Injury Referrals
Trenton is the City of Trenton, New Jersey, and the official city site identifies it as New Jersey's capital and the county seat of Mercer County. Mercer County's official site identifies Mercer County, NJ and lists county administration in Trenton. This page separates local reporting and records information from a request for a possible attorney introduction. WeGotInjured.com is an attorney referral service, not a law firm; we do not provide legal advice or determine fault, case value, or representation.
Reporting and safety information for Trenton
Trenton Police says police and motor-vehicle accident reports may be obtained in person at the Records Office, Trenton Police Headquarters, 225 N. Clinton Avenue, Trenton, NJ 08609, Monday-Friday 9:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m., or by mail. Requesters must show identification and provide the report number or incident date. The page lists service-window and mail fees; mail requests are limited to the person named in the report, that person's attorney, or insurance company. This is a records-access procedure, not a universal statement of crash-reporting law. [1]
