After a motorcycle accident, the steps you take—and don’t take—can have a significant impact on your health and your chances of getting compensation:
DO call 911. If you are unable to, ask someone to call for you. This vital step dispatches emergency responders to your location and establishes an official record of the crash.
DON’T refuse medical treatment at the scene. Shock and adrenaline may disguise injuries that will become apparent later.
DO get a medical evaluation as soon as possible if you aren’t treated at the scene. Make sure to inform your doctor that you were injured in a traffic accident while riding your motorcycle. This connects your injuries to your accident in your medical record.
DON’T admit fault for the crash to the other driver, witnesses, or the responding police officer. Motorcycle accidents can leave victims rattled and confused, and you may accidentally say something that can be used against you.
DON’T make guesses about speeds or distances when speaking to the police. Provide only what you know to be a fact.
DON’T argue with the other driver, assign blame, or behave aggressively in a way that may indicate culpability.
DO take pictures of the scene of the accident when it’s safe to do so. This includes pictures of your motorcycle, the other vehicle, and the surrounding area.
DO get contact information from the other driver, any witnesses, and the responding police officer.
DO call your insurance company to inform them of your crash.
DON’T accept a settlement offer from the insurance company until after you’ve spoken with a lawyer. Insurance companies know victims need immediate compensation, and they frequently offer “lowball” settlements.
Insurance companies often place unfair blame on motorcyclists, but we know that most motorcyclists are committed to safe riding practices. Even the most cautious riders can be involved in crashes due to hazards such as poorly maintained roads and signage, or distracted drivers failing to yield or spot a motorcyclist. That’s why it’s important to have an experienced law firm on your side from day one to protect you from a potentially biased insurance company.
