From the beautiful coastal city of Torrance and all the way to Santa Monica is perfect for getting out in the afternoon and ride your motorcycle. But sadly, because of all the traffic and vehicles on the road, it can also put you at risk of getting in an accident.

Statistically, an accident is way more deadly for a biker than it is for a passenger vehicle like a car or a truck. Because motorcycle users are protected at most by their helmet and other safety equipment, a motorcycle crash can cause serious injury to you or a loved one that loves to ride their motorcycle as their daily mode of transportation or just as a healthy hobby.

A motorcycle crash can be disastrous for a biker not just because of the force of impact by another vehicle, but because there are few ways to protect yourself from being thrown off your bike with only the pavement to stop your momentum. According to the Hurt Report sponsored by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHSTA), 98% of bikers were seriously injured in multiple vehicle collisions and 96% resulted in some kind of injury, with 45% resulted in more than a minor injury between the two types of vehicular accidents.

Because of this, more often than not, there’s a negative bias against bikers from the general population, with them thinking that you are negligent just because you ride a bike instead of a car. This has given way to insurance companies to take extreme advantage of motorcyclists in California, often selling you an even lower compensation than the one they offer to car drivers (which mind you, is also low compared to what they can get if they hire a personal injury attorney). That’s why Motorcyclist Attorney is here to ride out with you and get you the medical treatment you need after an accident and win for you the money you thoroughly deserve as compensation for the actions of a negligent driver.

What should you do if you get in a Motorcycle Accident?

After a motorcycle accident, our minds are bound to be racing with doubts and questions, and if you get injured your thoughts are likely to go towards your injuries and shut everything else down. But, knowing what to do in case of a motorcycle accident not only can save your life, but also lets you take the first steps in the process of your personal injury and property damage claims and ensuring you’ll get the maximum financial compensation for all your troubles.

Our team of dedicated Torrance motorcycle accident attorneys advises the following things to do after an accident:

1. Call 911, the emergency services will help you in the immediate moments after the accident. EMTs will help you with the initial medical treatment and diagnosis of your injuries while the police will help you file the police report needed after the accident
2. If capable, take pictures of your injuries and property damage. They will serve as key evidence of the gravity of the accident and will help you establish the first part of your claim’s timeline.
3. Exchange contact information with the other party. Even if the police report will contain data from everyone involved in the accident, it is always a good thing to exchange contact information, insurance details, and license plates with the people that took part in the accident.
4. Collect and note down any witness statements. Taking notes of what witnesses say after the accident will help you establish liability for your accident.
5. Do not talk to the other party’s insurance. Contrary to popular belief, you are not under any obligation to immediately talk to insurance companies after an accident. It is better to wait until you have a motorcycle accident attorney by your side.
6. Contact your Motorcyclist Attorney to start the personal injury claiming process. We will ride out hard to get achieve justice for you or any loved one involved in a motorcycle accident.

What can you recover from a truck accident?
