What Should I Do If I’ve Been Involved in a Bicycle Accident

Your actions immediately following a bicycle accident are important. In the case of any motor vehicle accident, it is paramount that evidence is preserved and an experienced bicycle accident lawyer is contacted. If you have been in a bicycle accident, follow these five steps.

  • File a police report. Even if you do not think you are injured at the time of the accident, you may feel the effects hours or days later.
  • Obtain driver and witness contact information. Be sure to get this information even if police have already included it in their report.
  • Document what happened. Take pictures at the scene. As soon as possible after the accident, write down everything you can remember about what happened.
  • Preserve evidence. Don’t get your bike fixed or replace your helmet.
  • Decide how to proceed. If you decide to hire a bicycle accident attorney, do not talk to any insurance company until you have spoken with your attorney.
