When The Ride Turns Into a Slide

Motorcyclists are at an inherently higher risk of injury than other motorists on the road. The less protected nature of a motorcycle can make any accident even more dangerous than they normally are. When it comes to motorcycle accidents, there are some key things to do in the event of a motorcycle accident, especially if at least one of the drivers was negligent in their behavior.

What to do in a Motorcycle Accident

Immediately after an accident the first thing that should be done is to assess all participants’ situations. If anyone is hurt, the first priority should be calling 911 to bring EMTs to the scene. If no one is hurt, the next step should be to call the non-emergency police line in order to report the accident and get an officer to the scene to record the account of the incident. Once the police are on their way, it is important to exchange information with the other drivers. Finally, individuals should contact their own insurance provider. Insurance providers can offer a number of services depending on the coverage from getting a rental set up to replacing or repairing the vehicle.

Negligence and Motorcycle Accidents

While accidents can happen to anyone, sometimes a motorcycle accident is the result of negligence. A negligent driver could be the motorcyclist or the person not on a motorcycle. The most common cause of negligent driving is distraction. Whether checking a phone, eating, listening to loud music, or some other distracting behavior, a driver who is distracted is not fulfilling their duty of care to other drivers. If a negligent driver causes injury, then a personal injury case can be filed against them.

Giving You The Advocacy You Deserve
