Hello Jim, in California:
- CHP should facilitate communication between parties after an accident.
- They may not be required to translate verbatim, but they should provide basic information.
Please confirm with a local attorney or the CHP directly.
I had a chp not tell me what was said between him & the other driver & makes me wait two months before they sell me the accident report where he leaves out many witnesses & then a couple days later I recall never seeing any brake lights on the other vehicle that pulled onto the hwy in front of me only to stop & want to turn left after only going about * feet leaving me nowhere to go but into the back of him when I contacted the chp that was on the screen he actually had the odasity to say maybe it was a standard & that's why I seen no brake lights! & He would check if it's even still in the area & it was a large local company's work truck but I had no knowledge of this for two months

If your a little rattled from the accident shouldn't it be chp's job to get all information from witnesses & bash cam footage
In California, the CHP is responsible for:
- Collecting information at the accident scene.
- However, obtaining witness information and dash cam footage is not specifically their duty.
Get legal advice if you believe there's missing or incorrect information.
