  2. Following a motorcycle accident, regardless of whether or not you got injured, you should always take the following steps to maximize your odds of obtaining the rightful compensation for your damages: ● Call the police ● See a doctor ● Talk to your attorney

  3. There are several reasons why you should do everything mentioned-previous: ● The police will come to the scene and write a report ● The doctor will check you for any injuries and write a medical report, which you can later use as evidence proving that you sustained injuries from the accident ● Your attorney will help guide you through the process and give you all the information you need

  4. Main Evidence After an accident, it may be hard for the investigators to “find the evidence” that it was the other party’s fault for causing the accident.

Be sure to speak with the police right after the accident: tell them everything you know about the accident, how it came to be, what caused it, who was responsible for it and try and be as honest and concise as possible.
