Understanding Your Rights After A Bicycle Accident
Call Emergency Services
Ensure you’re safely off the road before you call 911 for help. Once you are in a safe area, call the police to the scene to ensure a police collision report is taken of the collision. Having the documentation of an objective party is critical in building a case should you choose to pursue your injury case. Remember to be honest when speaking with them about the events of the crash.
Document The Accident
Take photos of the damage to your bike and the driver’s vehicle, exchange information with the driver, and take notes of your injuries. You should also talk to any witnesses and document their accounts.
Seek Medical Attention
Even if you feel fine in the moment, you must be examined by a medical professional. Your adrenaline will be high after the accident, causing your body to mask pain. Visit the emergency room to ensure you receive proper care and receive additional documentation regarding your injuries.
