What to do After a California Motorcycle AccidentAfter a motorcycle crash, the first thing you should do is make sure everyone involved gets medical care. Get to the side of the road, if you can, and call for paramedics, even if you don't feel injured at first. Head injuries may not be apparent at first, especially if you're in shock. A doctor can give you an expert opinion. The chances are good that the police or Highway Patrol will come to the scene to write an accident report. Try to make sure they do; a police report can help establish causes of the accident and record many details you may have missed in the rush of events following the crash. Take down the name, contact information and insurance information of the other people involved in the accident. If you can, you should also take pictures, write down all the details you remember from the crash (like skid marks or missing road signs) and take down names and phone numbers of any witnesses. You should make sure to contact your insurance company as soon as reasonably possible after the accident. Waiting might hurt your case, and the sooner you call, the better you are likely to remember the accident. Other insurance companies may offer you money; do not take it until you discuss the offer with your Northern California motorcycle accident attorney, because chances are the insurance company will offer you much less than you deserve. Do not sign anything you don't understand or agree with. Keep all the paperwork that documents the accident. If you decide later to file a motorcycle accident lawsuit, these documents will help.
