What to do after a Motorcycle Accident

Motorcycle Accident Lawyers Serving Jacksonville

What should you do after a Jacksonville motorcycle accident? While the specific procedure may vary slightly from case to case, following are the basic principles of actions that you should take if involved in a motorcycle accident:

Remain at the scene of the accident. Leaving the scene of a motorcycle accident is actually a criminal offense, so it is important that you remain at the scene if possible to exchange information with the other driver or drivers, call 911, and render medical assistance if possible.
Refrain from discussing the cause of the accident with law enforcement or with the insurance adjuster, who may show up to conduct an assessment of the situation.
Try to get the contact information of any witnesses present, if possible. Taking pictures at the scene and taking notes is also helpful, to ensure you have a clear record of everything that occurred.
Seek medical attention as soon as possible. Although you may not have sustained visible injury or you feel that you are not seriously hurt, it is important to see your doctor to ensure everything is alright.
Report the accident to your insurance company.
