Motorcycle accidents: understanding your next step.
The position and movement of each vehicle can be especially important in a motorcycle collision. Witness accounts, physical damage, and video may help establish the sequence of events. The review should consider the facts of your specific crash rather than assumptions about motorcyclists.
Situations we can review
- Drivers turning across a rider’s path
- Unsafe lane changes and merging
- Rear-end collisions involving motorcycles
- Road-hazard and visibility questions
Helpful information to keep
You do not need everything on this list to get in touch. Start with the information you have.
- Photos of the motorcycle, vehicles, and roadway
- Helmet-camera or dashcam recordings
- Witness details and the collision report
- Medical bills, treatment records, and damaged gear
Common questions
What if the insurer says the rider was partly at fault?
A disagreement about responsibility should be evaluated using the evidence. Shared-fault questions can affect a claim. An attorney can discuss how the facts and applicable law may apply to your situation.
What information should I keep for a review?
Helpful records include: photos of the motorcycle, vehicles, and roadway; helmet-camera or dashcam recordings; witness details and the collision report; medical bills, treatment records, and damaged gear. Keep what you already have and ask the firm what else may be useful.
Do I need every document before contacting the firm?
No. Start with a brief account of what happened, when and where it happened, and the records you already have. You can explain which documents are still missing.
What should I explain in my first conversation?
Describe the events in order, the people or organisations involved, and how the situation has affected you. Bring your questions and mention any letters or documents you have received.
