If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, there are a number of things you can do to protect yourself and preserve your right to recovery:
- Remain at the accident scene long enough to give your name and address to a police officer or the other driver. Leaving the scene before doing this could subject you to criminal penalties.
- If possible, write-down the names and addresses of the other drivers, passengers, and witnesses.
- If you or a witness has a camera, or camera-phone, take pictures of the accident scene and the vehicles.
- Get medical attention immediately. If you delay before seeing a doctor, it may become much more difficult to prove your injuries.
- Keep records of any expenses related to your accident such as motorcycle repair expenses, rental vehicle expenses, and time missed from work.
- Report the accident to your insurance company and the at-fault insurance company as soon as possible. You should, however, consider obtaining legal counsel before giving any detailed statements to an insurance company or adjuster.
