What To Do After a Bike Accident in Lawrence County?

A bicycle accident may leave you severely injured and disoriented. As difficult as it might be to remain focused after a bike crash, following these steps can help ensure your rights are protected when you need to file a claim later:

  • Step #1 - Report the Accident to the Police Immediately: A police report is an essential piece of evidence for any accident claim. You can request a copy of the report for your own records so that you can discuss it with your attorney.
  • Step #2 - Take Photos of the Accident Scene: If you or a loved one is able, take photos of your injuries, any damage to your bike and the other vehicle, and surrounding roadways.
  • Step #3 - Seek Medical Attention As Soon As Possible: If your injuries were serious, you may have been transported by emergency services to the nearest hospital. However, some bike accident injuries are not immediately apparent. It's essential that you visit your regular doctor (or any doctor) as soon as you can after your accident so that you can receive prompt medical treatment and get an assessment of your injuries.
  • Step #4 - Collect Information from the Other Parties: Try to collect the name, phone number, driver's license number, and insurance information from any other parties involved in the crash so that you can file a claim.
