Steps to Take After a Bicycle Accident
If you have been involved in a bicycle accident, taking the right steps can strengthen your claim.
- Seek Medical Attention – Even if your injuries seem minor, some symptoms may not appear immediately. Seeking medical care ensures proper treatment and creates a documented record of your injuries.
- Gather Evidence at the Scene – Take photos of the accident location, vehicle damage, road conditions, and any visible injuries. Collect witness contact information.
- File a Police Report – Reporting the accident helps document key details and serves as valuable evidence for your claim.
- Consult a Bicycle Accident Lawyer – An attorney can assess your case, handle negotiations with insurance companies, and fight for your right to fair compensation.
