A: A Washington attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. You post under two categories, which could either mean (1) nothing if it was an oversight in selecting categories, or (2) it could mean the car accident you describe has a civil component and a criminal component. If you're represented by an injury attorney in the accident, you could simply ask for the file, excluding attorney work product materials. If the accident involved a criminal component, a local criminal defense attorney could better explain the process of making a request to the county DA for that portion of the file (or it's possible your attorney might have excerpts from that file if they related to liability). Good luck
