Do I need to do anything to protect my legal rights in a motorcycle accident case?

You must take the proper steps after an accident, including seeking prompt medical help and filing a claim within a designated period of time.

When you seek medical treatment, have the physician document and even photograph injuries to prove the extent of harm the motorcycle accident caused. To prove the cause of the accident, it is helpful to have reports from law enforcement and witness testimony from those present at the scene of the accident.

Your attorney can also help to find you an accident reconstruction expert that will testify as to how the other motorist was the cause of the motorcycle collision.

Be sure to file your claim within the designated two-year time frame for injury claims. If you do not file a civil lawsuit within this time limit, you are barred from making a claim for compensation.
