When you are involved in a motorcycle accident, you would have suffered physical injuries ranging from minor injuries to serious injuries and your motorcycle would have undergone severe damages. If you were riding with a pillion rider, he or she too would have suffered injuries. If you want to get a proper compensation from the insurance company, the information that you have regarding the accident scene is highly important.
Before you get busy collecting the accident scene details, you must make sure that you have not suffered any major injuries and everyone who has been involved in the accident gets the needed medical attention. After ensuring this, you must make sure to collect all the necessary information that will help you in getting your compensation. It is no good relying on your memory; it is important you write down the details.
If it is not a hit and run case, you must make sure to collect information on the identity of the driver who was responsible for the accident. You must have his or her name in full, their address, contact details and their insurance details.
You must also collect all the information regarding the vehicles involved in the accident. The vehicle caused the accident and other vehicles that got involved in the accident including the types of those vehicles, their number plate details, color of the vehicles involved in the accident, etc.
When you write a report which to be given to your motorcycle accident lawyer, it should also include information on the cause of the accident. Therefore, it is better to write down what happened exactly while you are still in the accident scene when your memory is still fresh.
Note down the time of the accident and the location of the accident. If there are any special reasons that caused the accident such as bad weather, poor road conditions, etc., include those too in your notes. You will also be including where you started and where you were heading to when the accident happened. If you can manage to take a photo of the accident scene, it will be one of the best things that you can do. Insurance companies also ask for photos these days because most of us carry mobile phones with inbuilt cameras. If you do not have any such gadget, you can also request any of the witnesses in the accident scene to help you with their mobile camera to take photos of the crime scene. Most people understand what it means to be involved in an accident so they will oblige such a request.
When you present all these details to your motorcycle accident lawyer, he will prepare a detailed damage report based on the information you have supplied and present it to the insurance company. Along with these, you will also be presenting your medical records to your motorcycle insurance lawyer so that he can assess the total damage caused.
