When the unthinkable happens and you find yourself involved in a motorcycle crash, it is natural to feel overwhelmed. What you do in the moments right after the motorcycle crash can significantly impact your physical recovery and any potential legal case. Here is what you need to do:

1. Safety First

Check yourself and others for injuries. If anyone is hurt, do not move them unless they are in immediate danger.

2. Call 911

Even if your injuries seem minor, always call the police. This creates an official record of the incident.

3. Document the Scene

If it is safe to do so, take photos of:

Vehicle positions
Damage to all vehicles involved.
The surrounding area (road conditions, traffic signs, etc.)

Any visible injuries.

4. Gather Information

Exchange contact and insurance details with other parties involved but avoid discussing fault.

5. Seek Medical Attention

Even if you feel fine, some injuries may not be immediately apparent. Always get checked out by a medical professional.

PROTECTING YOUR RIGHTS

Once the dust settles, you might think the worst is over. But the reality is, the journey to recovery – both physical and financial – is just beginning. Here is what you need to know:

Do Not Rush to Settle

Insurance companies often push for quick settlements. Do not accept any offers without consulting an attorney.

Document Everything

Keep detailed records of all medical treatments, missed work and how the accident has impacted your life.

Be Cautious on Social Media

Anything you post could potentially be used against you in your case.

Know Your Rights

New Jersey law gives you certain protections, but navigating the legal system can be complex.
