Actions after a Motorcycle Wreck

To improve your chances of recovering the cash you need, follow these steps:

Get Medical Care

Make sure you tell the medical professionals that you were involved in a motorcycle accident. You do not want the other side to claim that your injuries were from a different cause.

You will need proof of your injuries.

This is why getting medical treatment as soon as possible is essential. Common injuries include traumatic brain injury, facial fractures, broken ribs, hips, and other bones, paralysis, nerve damage, internal bleeding, and road rash.

Notify Law Enforcement

Police need to fill out an accident report. This can go a long way to showing what caused your injuries.

Stick to the facts. Do not speculate on speed or what caused the accident. You cannot collect anything in Alabama if you are even 1% to blame.

Exchange Information with The Other Driver

However, let me caution you not to give a sworn statement to an insurance investigator before talking with a lawyer. Whatever you say can be used against you.

Gather Evidence

If you can, take pictures and get the names and phone numbers of the witnesses.

Motorcycle riders are statistically at higher risk of severe injuries.

Insurance companies will fight not to pay your claim. That is the job of an insurance company attorney and one of the reasons you need a lawyer on your side.

Call now. Remember that Alabama has a statute of limitations. After that time, you cannot collect ever.
