When Should I Call a Scottsdale Lawyer About My Bicycle Accident?

The short answer is: as soon as possible. However, there are a number of steps to consider prior to following up with a Scottsdale bike accident attorney. Because a bicycle accident can become deadly very quickly, the severity of your wreck will play a role in what steps you must take and when to take them. For the sake of this entry, we will assume that emergency care was not required and you were able to move without aid or relatively minor assistance. Barring extensive injury at the scene you should take these immediate steps:

• Call the Police & Remain Calm – The latter part of this note may be easier said than done. But any rash and irrational action taken in the moments following the accident can quickly lead to your own legal troubles as well as a complete nullification of your own potential lawsuit against the careless driver. So, maintaining a cool demeanor in this situation is critical.
  
  You should contact the Scottsdale Police once everything has been accounted for at the scene – wait until they arrive before leaving or deciding that the wreck doesn't warrant a report. If the police do not arrive, gather the driver's contact, license and insurance information then follow up with the authorities after the fact.
• Record the Scene – You'll want to take as many photographs, videos and notes of the accident scene as possible. This includes your bike, the driver's vehicle, your injuries and any other viable factors that may be at play with the accident – such as road conditions, lack of signage or even a third party. All of this information will be vital in securing your settlement or suit in the weeks and months following.
• Seek Medical Attention – As stated previously, it is assumed here that you are not in need of an ambulance or other emergency care. Given that, it is prudent to speak with a doctor or medical practitioner about your accident no matter how minor it may seem. Some injuries do not give off immediate symptoms such as concussion or internal bruising. A thorough examination can head off any potential long term issues, as well as providing solid evidence for a settlement by way of medical records.
