What Should You Do If You Are in a Michigan Motorcycle Accident?

Motorcycle Accidents: What Should You Do If You Are in a Michigan Motorcycle Accident?

Motorcycle accidents are terrible experiences. Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable when they get into an accident.

There are four things that you need to know in the event of a motorcycle accident.

First and most importantly, is getting to safety after an accident if possible. Move off the road, get to a shoulder.

Often we see cases involving people who were in a motorcycle accident that was not particularly horrible. The injuries were not horrible. But then a second accident occurs immediately after that. Another vehicle comes upon the accident scene and causes a second accident that can be very, very, very damaging. So, get to safety if possible. Move the bike, move all the people who have been involved in the accident off the road onto the shoulder, into a parking lot, if possible. Secondly, get help. Call 911, call the police. Get the medical care that you need, or if anybody else is injured. Get that to the scene as fast as possible.

Third, get information from people who were involved in the accident, their names, their addresses, their phone numbers, their license plate number, their insurance information.

Fourth, and perhaps most importantly in the long run, know what your legal rights are. Contact an experienced Michigan motorcycle accident attorney as soon as possible after the accident to get your questions answered, and to protect your legal rights.
