A Daytona Beach motorcycle accident can often lead to a debilitating injury, resulting in a lifetime of pain and suffering. There are some things that all motorcyclists should know when it comes down to motorcycle accidents.
Dos
If you are involved in a motorcycle accident, here is a list of what you should do:
- Call 911 immediately, especially in the event someone is seriously hurt.
- Go to the ER or your doctor’s office immediately if you are injured.
- Ask the other driver for their personal information, such as their name, number, address, driver’s license number, and car registration information. Also, write down their license plate number.
- Ask for the names and numbers of all witnesses.
- Use your Smartphone to click as many pictures as possible of the accident scene.
- Call your insurance company as soon as you are able.
What you shouldn’t do
One mistake, even a small one, can jeopardize your accident injury case. Do not:
- Unless you require immediate medical attention, leave the accident scene hastily.
- Give any statements to the other driver at the scene. (Speak to an experienced motorcycle accident attorney before giving any statements to the other driver’s insurance company.)
