BE MINDFUL AFTER THE CRASH 3 THINGS TO DO AFTER A MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT
No motorcyclist wants to be in an accident, but you should always prepare for the worst. “Dress for the slide, not the ride” and wear pants, a sturdy jacket, gloves, and a DOT-approved helmet. You can even make yourself more visible by wearing brighter colors, enhancing your profile for other motorists. Unfortunately, accidents can happen even when you take all the precautions. If you find yourself in a motorcycle accident, here are a few things you should do at the scene to protect your rights and the rights of others involved in the accident. CALL THE POLICE If you are coherent enough, the first thing you should do is call the police. You want to be sure that paramedics arrive on the scene to treat the injured and that the police are there to take witness statements. If you do not call the police, it is simply your word against other motorists. Having the police present will ensure that you are justly compensated. DOCUMENT THE INCIDENT You will want to record names, phone numbers, insurance, and other information about the vehicles of everyone involved in the accident. Talk to witnesses and get their contact info so
you can build your case. Use your phone to take pictures
and video at the scene and write down the events of the accident while they are still fresh in your mind. All these facts will help you build your case with your insurance provider and with the police when you give your statement. STATE THE FACTS AND ONLY THE FACTS When speaking with the police about the accident, avoid any language that assigns blame. Don’t apologize for any fault, and don’t accuse the other motorists involved beyond what you know happened. State the facts and only the facts; in a liability lawsuit anything you say to the police can be used against you in court. An apology can be misconstrued as an admission of guilt. Accidents of any sort are nerve-wracking, and the legal repercussions can be difficult to navigate alone. When you are finished with the initial aftermath of the accident, Obiorah Fields, LLC is here to help. Please give us a call.
