What to Do After a Bicycle Accident

In the moments after a bicycle accident, it is important to remain calm and seek help as soon as possible. To protect yourself and your right to compensation, take the following steps.

• Call 911 and report the collision to law enforcement. Ask the responding police officer for his or her information so you can find the police report at a later time. This report will be an important piece of evidence in your case.
• Seek medical attention immediately, even if you do not feel hurt. You may have internal damage or underlying injuries, and your medical records will be crucial evidence in your case. Additionally, an insurance company may doubt the validity of your claim if you do not seek medical attention.
• Document the scene If you are able to move around the accident safely and without further injury. Take photographs of your injuries, property damage, and the area around the crash. If any witnesses saw the crash, ask them for their contact information.
• Exchange contact and insurance information with the at-fault driver. Keep your interaction brief and do not make any statements about the accident or the nature of your injuries.
• As soon as possible following the accident, contact a Beaverton bicycle accident attorney to discuss your legal options. Do not speak to the driver or an insurance representative before speaking with your lawyer.
