Title: What to do after a Bike Accident?

What to do after a Bike Accident?
2
  • Riding a bike in South Florida is an amazing
    experience. With Florida being a bike-friendly
    state and so many bike trails available, the only
    thing left to do is hitting the road. But the
    roads are not very safe out there, particularly
    during rainy season. Lack of visibility, slippery
    roads, distracted driving and crowded streets can
    cause your bike to crash into a vehicle or vice
    versa. Its important to exercise safety at all
    times and learn about what to do if an accident
    ever occurs. Chances are you will be more
    protected when you contact Personal Injury Lawyer
    Miami.

Call The Police Wait Until Arrive
  • ARRIVE The police report is very important to
    prove the accident actually happened. Its
    important to have one even if you think you are
    not badly injured. Sometimes the injuries show up
    later on. Even the most insignificant injuries
    can become serious and permanent without proper
    medical attention. Whatever you do, dont
    negotiate with the driver. They may accept the
    blame but may deny later on that the accident
    occurred.

Accident Report
  • Its important you tell your version of the story
    as oftentimes the police listens to the motorist
    but ignores the cyclist. You must report all
    injuries, whether serious or minor. If the police
    stills refuses to hear what you have to say, you
    can always have your police report amended.

5
Obtain Contact Info
  • You must immediately obtain the car drivers
    contact information address, cellphone, ID, car
    license, insurance, etc. Also, try to get
    information from accident witnesses. Oftentimes,
    the police report fails to include this important
    information. If you are badly injured, perhaps
    someone can get this information for you.

6
Take a Photos of Your Evidence And Injuries
  • This is very crucial as it will determine the
    outcome of your case. Seek prompt medical
    attention even if you believe the injuries are
    minor. This can serve as evidence that you were
    actually injured. Taking pictures of the injuries
    and writing a journal about their progress and
    any physical symptoms involved can also help.
    Dont wash the accident clothes or fix your bike.
    Leave it as it is. If you need your bike to get
    to work or run errands, you can always take
    photos of the damage equipment and preserve the
    evidence.

7
Write What Happened
  • You may want to sit down after the accident and
    write down everything that happened. Make sure
    you include any relevant details such as the
    weather, traffic, road conditions, any debris,
    and so on.
