What to Do After a Bike Accident
Bicycle accidents happen. If you ride your bicycle at all, there is a chance that you will be in a bike accident one day. It is important to know what to do immediately after the accident, as well as in the days and weeks that follow. As Arizona bicycle accident lawyers, we have successfully handled thousands of personal injury claims and know that your actions can determine how well your health, and your rights, are preserved.
- Do not lightly dismiss a bike accident. It may seem that you and your bike are not injured or damaged, but you could find out down the road that indeed you and your bike sustained harm.
- Remain calm. A non-confrontational attitude will allow you to gather the information you need.
- Call the police. Insist that the police officer file a report. If an officer does not respond, go to the nearest police station and file a report within 72 hours.
- Obtain the motor vehicle operator's name, address, phone number, license plate number and insurance information.
- If possible, obtain the name, address and phone number of all witnesses.
- Take photos of the accident scene, your bike, all involved vehicles and your injuries.
- Get necessary medical treatment.
- Have your bike inspected for damage at a reputable bike shop.
- Retain a reputable bicycle accident lawyer in Mesa, like those at Breyer Law Offices, P.C., before giving a statement to the motor vehicle operator's insurance company.
- Allow your bicycle accident lawyers to ascertain the full extent of damage to your bike and your injuries before making a settlement.
