Chances are your injuries are serious. The things you do in the immediate aftermath of a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.edwardleelaw.com\/personal-injury\/motorcycle-accidents\/\">motorcycle accident<\/a>&nbsp;can have a significant impact on whether or not you recover full and fair compensation for all your losses. Here\u2019s what you need to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step #1\u2014Get the Medical Treatment You Need<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t worry about anything else until you\u2019ve received the medical attention you need. Don\u2019t engage in false bravado\u2014this isn\u2019t the time to dismiss your injuries or act the tough guy. Acknowledge that you have been hurt and get the care you need. If you are unable to move under your own power or if you believe you have injuries to your head, neck, spine or back, stay where you are until emergency medical technicians arrive and then defer to their judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are able to walk away, seek medical care as soon as possible, whether at a hospital ER, an urgent care provider, or your primary care physician. Make certain you tell doctors and nurses about everything that\u2019s out of the ordinary. Don\u2019t focus on the obvious injuries\u2014the broken bones\u2014and neglect to mention the pain and stiffness in your lower back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step #2\u2014Gather as Much Information as Possible<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can help your attorney by obtaining basic information from others, including persons who may have caused the accident, as well as any witnesses. Get contact information, including name address, email address and phone number. Take pictures, if you can\u2014the camera on your phone is fine. Get shots of anything relevant, from the damage to all vehicles to your injuries, the road conditions, tire marks or any roadway defects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step #3\u2014Contact an Experienced Attorney<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This should really be your first priority\u2014the sooner you retain legal counsel, the sooner you\u2019ll have someone working to ensure that you get everything to which you are entitled. Your lawyer can be your liaison with insurers, helping you get all the benefits promised in your policy. Your attorney will also safeguard the critical evidence and help make certain you don\u2019t do or say anything that jeopardizes your claim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Steps to Take to Maximize Your Recovery You\u2019ve been hurt in a motorcycle crash, either as a passenger or while operating a bike.
