If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident, we know how scary it can feel. Here at Lachowicz Law, we can be your personal team of motorcycle accident lawyers. Distracted driving, drunk driving, irresponsible driving, speeding, and other variables can all contribute to motorcycle accidents. According to statistics, the majority of motorcycle accidents involve other cars and are caused by the driver of those cars. Motorcycles, on the other hand, provide distinct challenges for inattentive drivers and others on the road.
What to do when injured in a motorcycle accident
- Call 911 right away and request medical attention for yourself and anyone else that may be hurt
- File a police report if there is more than $500 worth of property damage caused by the accident
- Get as much information as possible from the driver that hit you
These are the three basic steps that should be taken right away when a motorcycle accident occurs. After these initial steps, you can then use the information you gathered following the accident to hire a lawyer and make a case. However, your health and safety are most important, so be sure to receive the necessary medical attention first before proceeding with anything else.
