A Bucks County motorcycle accident can often lead to devastating and lasting injuries. If you are a motorcyclist, there are certain things you should and should not do if you are involved in an accident.
What you should do
One critical mistake can ruin your accident injury case and dramatically affect the compensation you receive for your injuries. If you are involved in a motorcycle accident, you should:
- Dial 911 immediately, especially is someone is seriously injured.
- Seek medical attention immediately if you are injured.
- Obtain the other driver’s personal information, including name, number, address, driver’s license number, car registration information, and license plate number.
- Get the names and numbers of anyone who may have witnessed the crash.
- Take as many pictures of the accident scene as possible.
- Contact your insurance company.
