We understand motorcycle accidents and have a long history of getting full compensation for our clients who were hurt in such accidents. Here’s what we recommend immediately after a motorcycle accident.
Steps to Take After a Motorcycle Accident
After a motorcycle accident, taking the right steps can protect your health and legal rights. Here are some key actions to take:
- Call the police: Contact the police immediately. They’ll create a critical police report, which can later help build your case against the negligent driver.
- Document everything: If you can, take photos of the accident scene, including the auto, your motorcycle, the surrounding area, and your injuries. Make a note of the time of day, the weather, and every detail you can think of.
- Seek medical attention immediately: Even if you don’t think you’re seriously injured, seek medical care ASAP. Some injuries, like whiplash, may not show symptoms right away.
- Get contact information: Collect the names, phone numbers, and insurance details of everyone involved, including witnesses. The police generally provide you with the information after they collect it.
The next step is where we come in. It’s important to get legal representation as soon as possible. But having a lawyer isn’t enough: With motorcycle accidents, you need an attorney who understands what you’re going through and the challenges you face in getting fair compensation. Christopher brings a unique perspective to your case-not only has he worked for insurance companies, giving him inside knowledge, but he’s also a motorcyclist. He understands the challenges of motorcycle accident injuries on a personal level and is ready to tailor your legal approach so you can get what you deserve.
With an attorney to represent you, your worries about dealing with the insurance company vanish. We help you navigate every step of your case, avoiding the common mistakes people make after accidents. We’re here to help you get maximum compensation to get your life back.
Why You Shouldn’t Wait to Take Action
Motorcycle accident injuries can have long-term effects on your health and finances. The sooner you take action, the better your chances of receiving fair compensation for your injuries, medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Waiting too long to file a claim could lead to a lower settlement offer.
