How to Recover Damages After a Bicycle Accident?

Bicycles are both a healthy and clean mode of
transportation, but there are still dangers in
using them. Drivers in automobiles may not pay
attention to a bicycles presence, causing
serious injuries and unexpected collisions. Its
not just careless drivers that can cause an
accident. Unsafe roads, careless pedestrians, and
defective bicycle designs can also play a part.

Call for Emergency Medical Services
If you were hit by a car, truck, or other
vehicles while riding your bike, call 9-1-1 for
help. If you are physically unable to do so, ask
someone else to make the call. Try to move off
the road if your injuries arent serious.
Otherwise, wait where you are for the ambulance
to arrive.
Memories fade quickly, and in the chaos after an
accident, your attention will get pulled in many
different directions. Its important to take a
moment early on and try to remember anything you
can about the other vehicle. Even if you didnt
get a glimpse of the driver or license plate,
information such as the vehicle type, color, make
and condition can prove extremely useful.

Get Medical Treatment
Always consider getting medical attention after
an accident. Because of the rush of adrenaline,
you may not notice any pain until the following
day. Not seeking medical treatment can lead to
smaller injuries to become more significant and
invalidate your ability to obtain compensation
from the party at fault.

Gather Evidence
Always take down the contact information of the
driver or pedestrian involved in the incident, as
well as any witnesses that may have been present
at the time of the crash. Then take pictures and
videos of the scene, any injuries, the points of
impact and rest, the damaged bike and vehicle,
the drivers license plate, and any roadway signs
that may have been ignored.
