Accident

Have you been involved in a collision recently?
If so, then you may be eligible to seek
compensation for your injuries. However, to do
so, you have to act quickly and do several things
to increase your chances of obtaining
compensation. Many people do not know what to do
following an accident or are not sure how to act
and where to go. Here is a simple checklist that
will help guide you right after a bicycle
accident.

Ask The Driver To Stay on The Scene
Once you realize that the accident happened, try
and get off the road. Drag your bicycle with
your, if possible, so that other cars do not
collide with it. Wave to the driver involved that
you are in pain and shout asking for help. When
they leave their vehicle and come to help you,
ask them to stay until the police arrive. Take
out your phone and call 911, or ask someone
around you to do it.

If the driver refuses to stay and does not want
to provide you with their ID or personal
information, look at their vehicle and memorize
their license plate, car model and the color of
the car. Hold onto that information until the
police arrive. Their San Francisco bicycle
accident attorneys advise you to pay attention to
every detail because these details will help find
the driver responsible for causing the accident.
This is your only chance of obtaining
compensation.

Talking To The Police
When the police arrive, tell them what happened,
how it happened and everything you know about the
other party (in case they fled the scene).
However, if the other party remained at the
scene, tell the officer what you believe caused
the accident and call your attorney. Once the
officer is done talking with the witnesses and
done writing a report, ask for the officers
badge number and name, and ask for a copy of the
police report. After that, go with the ambulance
(assuming one arrived if it did not arrive, ask
the officer to call an ambulance for you)
6
Get Checked For Injuries
Going to the hospital is probably the most
important thing that you should do after an
accident. It is the only way that you can know
for sure if you were injured in the crash, if you
have any long-term injuries or if you suffered
internal damage. By not going to the hospital,
you risk suffering a life-threatening injury or
developing a condition that could change your
life (or end it).

In addition, you can use a copy of the doctors
report, along with a copy of the police report.
These two reports will help your attorney prove
your case and secure your compensation. As long
as you were injured in the accident as a result
of the other partys negligent actions, you may
be entitled to receive compensation for your
injuries. Their personal injury attorneys will
help you file a claim and secure your rightful
compensation in a timely manner. Be sure to give
them a call as soon as you are able to, without
hesitation.
