Injured in a Motorcycle Accident? Here’s What to Do Next.
- Be sure to report the accident to the police and your insurance company. This gets the ball rolling so you have a record of what has happened.
- Get the medical help you need and do it soon. Toughing out the pain, thinking it will go away, will just slow your recovery. If you don’t know who to see, we can recommend some medical doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists, and therapists.
- If possible, get someone over to the scene of the accident to take pictures. Evidence disappears quickly, so those first pictures can be important.
- If the police didn’t impound the bike, have someone put it into storage. Get pictures and a good report from a mechanic about damage before anything gets fixed.
Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries
Many insurance companies do a pretty good job of paying property claims for a damaged or totaled motorcycle.

Some of the most common motorcycle accident injuries for which you may need compensation include:- Broken bones
- Crush injuries
- Laceration or abrasions from the road (“road rash”)
- Head injury and/or traumatic brain injuries
- Severe burns
- Spinal cord injuries, including paralysis
