About LexisNexis eCrash
LexisNexis eCrash is a specialized online platform operated by LexisNexis that allows individuals, attorneys, insurers, and other authorized parties to search for and purchase official motor vehicle accident (police crash) reports. Working in partnership with law enforcement agencies across the United States, the service digitizes and distributes crash reports, typically for incidents investigated by participating police departments and state patrols. The platform is part of the broader LexisNexis Risk Solutions offerings, which focus on data, analytics, and information services.
A charge from “LEXISNEXIS ECRASH” on your card statement usually indicates that you (or someone with access to your card) purchased one or more accident reports online, often in connection with an auto accident, insurance claim, legal matter, or personal records request. Fees are typically one-time per report, though you might see multiple charges if you purchased several reports or re-ran searches. Law firms, insurance adjusters, and body shops may also use this service when handling claims, so the charge may be associated with work they did on your behalf.
If you do not recognize the charge, start by checking your email (including spam/junk folders) for a receipt from LexisNexis or eCrash around the transaction date, and confirm whether you or a family member recently needed an accident report. You can visit the LexisNexis eCrash/buycrash portal and use its support or contact links, or contact LexisNexis Risk Solutions customer support with the date, amount, and last four digits of your card to look up the transaction. If the charge is still unfamiliar after speaking with them, contact your bank or card issuer to dispute the transaction and block any further unauthorized use.
