Biker's Accident Guide - What To Do

According to the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration, over 90,000 motorcycle riders were injured in 2009.

Steps to keep in mind if you're involved in an accident.

Call Ambulance & Police

When an accident happens, you will be disoriented. The most important thing to do is to call for help. Even if you feel fine, you might have internal injuries.

Services such as SPOT makes it easier to call for assistance in case of an accident. Think of SPOT as a personal OnStar with push button SOS and automatic GPS fix.

Exchange Information

Make sure important information is exchanged with everyone involved in the accident. Important things to get from others:

• Full Legal Names
• Their Current Address
• Phone Numbers
• Insurance Name & Policy Number
• License Plate & Registration Number

Document Accident

Details of an accident begin to fade away moments after an accident. Before they do, make sure to write down details of everything you remember about how it happened. Also make sure to take photos.

Find witnesses, get their statement and their contact information.

Your Legal Rights

Don't discuss the accident with other; only answer the officer's questions. The officer will give you a case number. Note the case number and call Larry, the lawyer that rides, to discuss your legal rights and options.
