NY Motorcycle Accident Attorneys

The first thing you should do after a New York motorcycle accident is to make sure that everyone gets quick and thorough medical attention. All vehicles and persons involved should move out of the way of traffic if possible. Paramedics should be called even if there appears to be little or no injuries, as some injuries involving motorcycle crashes can take weeks or months to appear and immediate medical attention can often mean the difference between a full recovery and permanent injuries.

The police should be involved and should make a report on the incident. In some cases a police officer may only make a report if they suspect that an injury or excessive damages have occurred. Make sure and have the police make an incident report at the very least. You and any other drivers or passengers involved in the accident should not leave the scene before the police arrive unless medical attention necessitates that you do so.

Taking photos of New York motorcycle accidents can often dramatically help a person's motorcycle accident case. Pictures of the damaged vehicles, area in which the accident took place, markings on the road, weather and traffic conditions and pictures of the surrounding area will all be vital to your case. You can take these pictures with a digital camera or even your cell phone. In some cases you can request police video from the scene or have police investigators release pictures of your incident to you.

While you should also contact your insurance provider to make a claim report, you should contact a New York motorcycle lawyer at our firm for a free consultation as well.

Piecing together the incident is fundamental in making a clear and direct case for you. Speeds you were driving at, conditions at the time of the accident including weather and time, the area where the accident took place, the behavior of the other drivers involved, the state of the roadway where the accident occurred and others are all vital elements of any successful New York motorcycle accident case. The more information that you have the better your case will be and the more damages you can seek.
