INJURED IN A MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT?
Pay Nothing Unless We Win Your Injury Case
What should I do after I've been injured in a bicycle accident?
There are multiple steps that should be taken after you have been injured in a bicycle accident. It is important to check each of these steps to help create a strong claim and to protect yourself.
1. CALL LAW ENFORCEMENT
The first thing you should do is call 911 or have someone else do so if you are not able to. You will want to get a police report. This will help with the details that may become fuzzy later. Police reports are a great tool when proving who is at fault. Witnesses are also very important when in a car accident. If there are any witnesses you will want to get their names, phone numbers, and a small description of what they saw during the incident.
2. DOCUMENT THE DAMAGE
If you can, take pictures and videos of the accident. You want to make sure to get images of your vehicle and the other party’s vehicle. This will help our team of experts determine the extent of damage that has occurred during the accident. We also suggest you take images and videos of the area where the accident happened.
3. SEE A DOCTOR
It is important that you see a doctor after an accident. The sooner the better. Even if you do not have any physical pain, you should still go to a doctor right away. Many injuries from car accidents can start to occur days after the accident. The visit to the doctor will help confirm if you have any underlying injuries, you may not be aware of. Make sure to keep any receipts and documents associated with your visit.
4. SAY NOTHING
After an accident you will start to get calls from the other driver’s insurance company. Their job is to investigate the accident and reduce the compensation they will end up paying. That is why it is in your best interest and your case not to say anything. Get their information but do not talk about your injuries, the accident, or sign any documents.
5. CALL AN ATTORNEY
