At the Scene of the Accident
What you do in the moments after an accident is critical for your health and the strength of your claim. If you can, you should:
- Move out of the road. This step is essential to prevent further harm or additional accidents.
- Call local law enforcement. The responding officer should create an accident report that the insurance company will want as evidence for your claim. Do not guess who is at fault for the accident — leave it up to a lawyer to investigate.
- Seek medical attention immediately. Never refuse recommendations for emergency treatment. See a doctor even if you don’t notice immediate motorcycle accident injuries. A doctor’s examination can uncover trauma even if you don’t experience symptoms right away.
- Contact a skilled Maryland motorcycle accident attorney. The insurance company will have questions about the wreck, but avoid offering details until you consult a lawyer.
