What to Do After a Bicycle Accident with a Car
After a bicycle accident, there are certain things you can do to strengthen your case from the outset. First and foremost, get medical attention and move to a safe area where you aren’t at risk of being struck again by other vehicles. Once you are safe and stable, take note of what’s going on around you.
Follow these guidelines after a bicycle accident:
- Wait for the police to arrive and file a report
- Report your side of the story to the police, including any potential injuries
- Record the driver’s name, address, phone number, license number & insurance information
- Obtain the names and contact information of any witnesses who may be present
- Write down what happened from your point of view (Include notes about weather, road, and traffic conditions)
- Document your injuries and get medical attention even for minor scrapes
- Preserve the evidence; leave everything exactly how it was after the accident
- Take photos of everything if at all possible
If you are too injured to collect information, consider asking a passerby to assist you. Any information taken down immediately after the accident has the potential to greatly strengthen your case.
