What Should I Do After a Motorcycle Accident to Protect My Rights?

Don't try to tough it out when your rights are at stake. If you have suffered injuries from a motorcycle accident from the negligence of another person, it is essential that you take appropriate steps to protect your rights and pursue compensation.

First, you will want to get an examination from a doctor. If the accident was serious, you will likely be taken to the emergency room. If not, however, see a medical care provider at your earliest ability. Take heed of what they tell you to do and document the appointment, including pain, what was said, and any other notes that might be useful for your case.

While still at the scene of the accident, collect contact information of the drivers involved, their insurance company, and witnesses. Document all other important information as well, including license plate numbers.

If possible, get photographic evidence of the scene of the accident. Your smartphone will do just fine in taking a few pictures to be used as evidence.

At some point after the motorcycle accident, it will be important to obtain a police report. It might take law enforcement a few days to get the report together, but the sooner you can get this, the better.

Lastly but very importantly, you will want to get the help of a knowledgeable and trustworthy Sacramento motorcycle accident lawyer.

In worst-case situations, cyclists die in the accident, or in the days and weeks following the accident. When this happens we often file wrongful death suits to compensate family members for their loss of a spouse, parent, companion or child.

If you are injured or disabled following a motorcycle crash caused by another party, you have the right to seek compensation. Eliot Reiner works with injured persons and surviving family members throughout Placer County and surrounding areas.
