If you have been involved in an accident:

• Cyclists should immediately get the emergency care needed.

• 911 should be called immediately. DO NOT refuse medical attention. You may be in shock and/or not realize your injuries.

• Make sure to get the drivers license number, license plate, and description of the car and other driver if it appears the police are not coming or the driver may leave the scene.

• As close in time to the incident as possible, take as many notes as you can recall about the incident, include a diagram of the location, the vehicles, and your physical as well as property damages.

• Make sure witness names, phone numbers, or some way of contacting them following the incident are collected.

• DO NOT discuss liability with the driver of the other vehicle.

• Keep your bike and the clothes you were wearing (no matter how soiled), and take photos of them as well as your injuries. These should not be thrown away.

• You should call a bike accident or personal injury attorney to discuss your rights following a bike accident.

• Riders, follow-up with your primary care physician. Your number one concern should be treating your injuries and getting well.
• Do not speak to the insurance company of the person/company who injured you until you have contacted an attorney. Insurance companies will try to contact cyclists who have been injured. through an adjuster or attorney with one goal in mind, limit the amount of money the injured rider may be entitled to recover.
• Investigation: Only trained professionals should investigate incidents causing severe injury. This will include speaking with witnesses and taking their statements. Photographs of the incident site will need to be taken by a trained individual who knows what to look for and preserve evidence as close in time to the incident as possible.
