What Should You Do Right After a Motorcycle Crash in San Diego?
- Avoid leaving the scene;
- Obtain emergency medical help for yourself and for anyone else who got hurt;
- Get out of the flow of traffic and alert other motorists to your presence by using emergency flares or warning lights;
- Call the police, especially if anyone’s been hurt (even slightly);
- Collect information from the scene. If you’re too injured or “out of it,” ask someone else to gather information for you. This evidence could include pictures of injuries and of the crash scene as well as contact info, such as names, phone numbers, license plate numbers, insurance information, etc;
- Avoid admitting to any guilt. When you talk to police officers, stick to the facts;
- Keep a journal to document everything that happens after the crash, including conversations with doctors, witnesses, and insurance company representatives.
- Speak with an experienced San Diego motorcycle accident attorney before you talk with insurance adjusters.
- Find a motorcycle accident lawyer in Southern California who has a track record for delivering results in cases like yours.
Do Not Delay – Get Help
The longer you delay getting legal insight into your crash, the more challenging it may be to collect compensation and obtain justice. For instance:
- The police will likely clean up the accident scene within a few hours.
- Witnesses may soon forget what they saw.
- Potentially liable parties may use your delay to build their defense against any claim you might make.
