Motorcycle Accidents often lead to serious and permanent injuries. If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident that was not your fault, you may have a personal injury claim. Be cautious about talking to the other driver’s insurance company before you consult with an experienced injury lawyer. The insurance company may try to blame you just because you were driving a motorcycle.

However, if you work with an attorney, the other driver’s automobile insurance company may compensate for any losses you sustained. These losses include medical expenses, emotional and physical pain and suffering, any lost wages you incur due to the accident, and any permanent injuries you sustain.

Take these steps after an accident:

-Protect your health. First, seek immediate medical attention either at the emergency room or with a trauma specialist as soon as possible following the injury.
-If you are unable to work following your injury, let your employer know why you are unable to work and obtain a doctor’s note for your absence. The other driver may be responsible for reimbursing you for these expenses when the case settles.
