If you are involved in a motorcycle accident, there are certain steps you should take regardless of which vehicle you were operating. After an auto accident, you should:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Get the other motorist\u2019s information, including name, address, contact information and insurance information.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Gather the names and contact information of any witnesses.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Call police and ask them to file an accident report.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Cooperate with police but do not admit or imply the auto accident was your fault.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Do not discuss fault with the other driver. In fact, your communication with the other driver should be minimal.<\/p>\n
\u2022 If possible, take photos of the accident scene, car or motorcycle damage, and your injuries.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Seek medical attention, even if it seems as though you are alright.<\/p>\n
After the accident, do not communicate with the other driver\u2019s insurance company. The company is likely to offer you an unfair settlement or coerce you into admitting fault. Do not repair any vehicle damage until it is properly documented.<\/p>\n
