What Should You Do After A Motorcycle Accident?
Your first step should be to call for help and to report the accident. You may need immediate medical treatment, so call 911 if you are seriously injured.
If your injuries allow, take pictures of the accident scene and of your injuries. This can be very beneficial to your case.
Before you talk to the insurance companies, speak to a lawyer. I can tell you what to avoid in this situation so you do not hurt your case, such as admitting fault for the accident.
Collecting the contact information of any witnesses is also important. They may be called upon to help build your claim.
Make sure you follow your doctor’s instructions about aftercare for your injuries. Keep all of your medical records as well.
Potential Liable Parties In Motorcycle Crashes
Depending on the cause of the accident, there may be more than one liable party. As your attorney, I will assess the circumstances and identify the negligent party or parties. Some of the most common at-fault parties include:
- Drivers of cars and other passenger vehicles
- Commercial truck drivers
- Motorcycle manufacturers
- Vehicle manufacturers
- Entities that build and maintain the roadway
- Drunk, drowsy or distracted drivers
We will discuss your accident thoroughly and I will review the evidence to determine the party or parties responsible for your motorcycle accident.
