Schedule a Free Initial Consultation to Discuss Your Case
After suffering the potentially life-changing injuries a motorcycle accident can cause, the last thing anyone wants is to deal with insurance companies. Insurance companies do not always offer fair compensation or pay as quickly as you need. Their goal is to make money — not to spend it paying claims. They do not have your best interests in mind.

What Are Your Next Steps?
After you have seen a doctor, there are other steps you can take to help strengthen your injury claim after a motorcycle accident.
These include:
- Notifying Your Insurance Company: You should report your motorcycle accident and any injuries sustained to your own insurance company. However, do not speak to or sign anything from the other driver’s insurance company.
- Detailing the Accident: Take notes about how the accident occurred. Include specific details — including what lane you were in, the weather conditions, the time of day, the traffic flow, and other specifics you remember.
- Photographing Injuries and Property Damage: Before seeking any repairs, photograph any damage your motorcycle sustained in the crash. If no doctor photographed your injuries, make sure to photograph them yourself.
- Tracking Your Treatment and Recovery: Write down any medications you’re prescribed — including dosage. List all doctors you see as well as any additional treatment or rehabilitation you require during your healing.
- Consulting a Lawyer: Filing a motorcycle accident claim can be a complicated legal process. That’s why it’s a good idea to retain a lawyer who fully understands all applicable laws and can make sure you’re protected.
On the Road
Motorcyclists — often more so than other drivers — must remain alert while riding. There are several things motorcycle riders must always consider while on the road.
These include:
- Road Conditions: Roads that are broken down, in disrepair, or have poor drainage can pose risks. Motorcyclists can lose control or risk being thrown if they hit potholes, large rocks, or even an expansion joint.
- Road Hazards: Motorcyclists must be careful of how they react to objects in the road. Cars and trucks can drive over small objects — they cannot. In addition, riders cannot quickly avoid large objects without a risk of falling.
- Weather Conditions:A motorcycle has no hood, doors, or a roof — leaving the rider directly exposed to the weather. Bad weather does not just make riding unpleasant. It also makes it more difficult to see motorcyclists.
