Steps to Take After a Motorcycle Accident
If you’ve been involved in a motorcycle accident, you must take the following steps to protect your rights.
Check for injuries: Your safety and the safety of others is the top priority. If anyone is injured, call 911 immediately.
Move to a safe area: If possible, move your vehicle and yourself out of the flow of traffic to avoid further accidents.
Even if you don’t feel seriously injured, it’s important to get checked by a medical professional. Some injuries, like internal injuries or concussions, may not show symptoms right away.
Take photos or videos: Capture the accident scene, your motorcycle, the other vehicle(s), skid marks, road conditions, and any visible injuries.
Gather witness information: If there are witnesses, collect their names, contact information, and statements about the accident.
Exchange contact, insurance, and vehicle information with the other driver(s). Make sure to note the other driver’s name, license plate number, and insurance details.
Continue with any medical treatment or therapy as prescribed by your doctor. This not only aids in your recovery but also strengthens your personal injury claim by showing that you are taking your health seriously.
Even if the accident seems minor, report it to the police. A police report is a critical document for insurance claims and potential legal action. Cooperate with the officers but avoid admitting fault.
Be mindful of what you say at the scene. Avoid making statements that could be interpreted as admitting fault, such as apologizing or saying you weren’t paying attention.
Report the accident to your insurance company as soon as possible. Provide them with the necessary details but avoid making recorded statements or accepting any settlement offers until you’ve consulted an attorney.
Keep all records related to the accident, including medical bills, repair estimates, and communications with insurance companies. This documentation will be important for any personal injury claim.
Motorcycle accident cases can be complex, especially when dealing with insurance companies and possible biases against motorcyclists. An experienced attorney can help protect your rights, investigate the accident, gather evidence, and ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries, lost wages, and damages.
