What Should I Do Immediately After Being Involved in a Motorcycle Accident?
Immediately after being involved in a motorcycle accident, it’s crucial to prioritize your safety and well-being. First, assess yourself for injuries and seek medical attention, even if you believe you are unharmed, as some injuries may not be immediately apparent. If it’s safe to do so, document the accident scene with photographs, including all vehicles involved, road conditions, and any visible injuries. Exchange contact and insurance information with the other parties but refrain from admitting fault or discussing the accident details. Contact the police to file a report, as this will be vital evidence for your case. Finally, reach out to us at Feller & Wendt. We can help by guiding you through the next steps, protecting your rights, and beginning the process of securing the compensation you deserve.
