You’ve been in a motorcycle accident. Now what should you do?
The first thing you should do after an accident is get to safety. Next, check yourself and anyone else you’re with for injuries. Even if you don’t think you are seriously injured, seek medical attention to be absolutely certain you don’t have hidden injuries. After you address the immediate medical concerns, here are a few more steps to take that will help you recover from this accident:
- Report the accident to law enforcement if emergency services aren’t called. Make sure you receive a copy of the accident report.
- Exchange contact and relevant insurance information with all parties involved in the accident.
- Save all relevant details about the vehicles that were involved in the accident, including make, model, and year.
- Take photographs of the motorcycle and other vehicle(s) involved to record any property damage.
- Take photographs of your surroundings to capture relevant details about the context of your accident, such as street signs, traffic lights or potholes.
- Are there any helpful witnesses nearby? Ask them to provide a statement about what they saw, including their names and contact information, if possible.
- Contact your insurance company and provide all necessary information about the accident.
- Remain calm. You’ve just been through a lot. Try to remain calm during the aftermath of your motorcycle accident. Your lawyer can help assure you that, eventually, everything will be okay.
As soon as possible, contact your Motorcycle Accident Attorney. The sooner we can get started preparing your case, the sooner you can recover and, whenever possible, return to your normal life.
How will my lawyer help me?
King Aminpour Motorcycle Accident Lawyer will take care of the many big and small details to prepare your unique case. Whether in preparation for a lawsuit, criminal charges or insurance claims, here are a few things you can expect your Motorcycle Accident Attorney to seek from the very beginning:
- An independent investigation, which can be conducted by King Aminpour Motorcycle Accident Lawyer or a third-party investigator
- A detailed inspection of the motorcycle
- Photos and other evidence of physical injuries and/or property damages
- Witnesses and their relevant, timely statements
By preparing your case with as much information as possible, your lawyer can assure you that no unexpected challenges to your restitution will arise at a later date.
Know your rights as a motorcyclist
Following a motorcycle accident, people can be quick to blame the motorcyclist for the incident. However, as you know, this is not always the case. If you believe an insurance company is rushing to an unfair judgement against you, contact King Aminpour Motorcycle Accident Lawyer right away. We’ll help you navigate the difficult processes that these companies develop to make it harder for you to acquire the restitution and/or justice you deserve after your accident.
What are the costs of a motorcycle accident?
Following an accident, a motorcyclist’s injuries can be catastrophic, such as a spinal cord injury that leads to permanent paralysis from the neck down (“quadriplegia”) or from the waist down (“paraplegia”). Less severe injuries can include broken bones, burns and blood loss. Many motorcyclists also suffer traumatic brain injury, even when wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.Such injuries lead to significant and long-term medical care costs. You might also face the costs of ongoing medical care for physical therapy, psychological treatment for emotional trauma, and even plastic surgery to repair scars from the accident. Of course, the ultimate cost of an accident is when someone loses a life. Although you can never be adequately compensated for the loss of your loved one’s life, seeking justice or restitution with the help of an experienced Motorcycle Accident Lawyer can help.
Don’t wait too long to hire an attorney
Under California law, you have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit against another driver or whomever you believe is responsible for your accident. After that statutory time limit expires, you’ll no longer have the right to file a lawsuit or gain any potential recovery for your injuries.
