What to Do if You’ve Been in a Motorcycle Accident
3 Steps You Need to Take
When it’s just you, your motorcycle, and the open road, an accident is probably the last thing on your mind. Accidents are unexpected and impossible to predict, so while we hope you never have to experience a motorcycle accident, we want to share the crucial steps you should take in case you ever find yourself in a collision. Provide first aid if necessary. If you’re uninjured, immediately check on your passengers or passengers of the vehicle you collided with. If anyone is injured, do your best to stop bleeding or provide life-saving first aid. Remove your bike from the road . After you verify that you or anyone else in the accident is uninjured, drag your bike to the side of the road if possible. Doing this will not only allow you to take better images of the bike or assess damages, but it will also prevent the road from being obstructed. Texas-Size LAUGHS
Stay at the scene. Unless you’re injured and need to be taken in an ambulance, remain at the scene until help arrives. You will need to provide police officers and other drivers in the accident with your personal and insurance information and collect that information from others. Failure to provide this information will result in fines or criminal punishment. What is the deadline to file a motorcycle collision claim? In Texas, motorcycle collisions have a two-year statute of limitations. Within the two- year period, you may be able to receive compensation for injuries that resulted in medical costs, lost wages, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, loss of consortium, and pain and suffering. An experienced attorney can help you determine the best time to file a claim and assist you in filing. If you or anyone you know has been in a motorcycle collision, reach out to the well-qualified attorneys at the Aulsbrook Law Firm.
