Motorcycle Accident Attorney in Queens

After a motorcycle accident, take these steps to help protect your rights:

• Get medical attention for your injuries. You may need serious medical care immediately after an accident. Your priority should be to get the help you need. Even though you may feel fine after the accident, get a full medical evaluation as soon as you can.
• Call the police. When police are called to the accident scene, they will create an accident report. That report can be useful in your claim for compensation. When you talk to the police officer, briefly describe what happened, but avoid blaming anyone for the accident.
• Take photos of the accident scene. Be sure to capture close-up photos of the damage to vehicles along with broader shots of the accident scene. Capture road conditions, skid marks, and any other information you think might be relevant to the accident.
• Avoid talking at the accident scene about what happened. Accidents happen quickly, and the parties that are involved may be confused about the cause of the crash. It is best not to talk with others about the accident. Instead, focus on gathering the documents the police will need, such as the car’s registration.
• Get the contact information for any witnesses. Witnesses tend to disappear soon after an accident. If possible, get the witnesses’ names and contact information for future discussions.
• Avoid discussing your accident on social media. People forget that social media posts may be public. If the other side is trying to avoid responsibility, any social media posts about the accident may be used against you.
