What Should You Do If You're Injured in a Bicycle Accident?
In the event of a bicycle injury, your safety and the safety of others involved in the accident is the top priority. Contact emergency responders immediately and ensure that everyone at the scene (starting with yourself) has the medical attention they need. Sometimes, it takes a moment for the pain of injury to set in. You may feel completely fine, but often that feeling is short-lived. It's important to always contact emergency personnel.
What Should You Do Next?
- Document the scene, including the people and vehicles involved, any damage to person or property, and the location of the bicycle accident.
- Report your side of the story to the police. Be thorough and truthful in your report.
- Contact an experienced personal injury attorney that specializes in bicycle accidents.
