Bicycle accident today? Here’s what to do

If you or a loved one were hurt in a bicycle accident today, the decisions you make can determine if you will be left with unpaid medical bills and unpaid time off work or if those expenses will be covered. Bicycle accidents happen every day across the country. Whether a distracted driver failed to notice you, someone opened their car door in your path, or you were pushed off the road by a driver who failed to obey the law, you have suffered injuries due to the negligence of another.

Bicycle Accident Today? 

After your bicycle accident, the choices you make can help determine your future wellbeing. It’s important to call the police and have them respond to the scene of the crash, if possible. The police officer will be able to take a report, noting exactly what he or she observes on the scene. The police officer will also be able to get the contact information for all parties involved, as well as any pertinent insurance information. But even if you do not have a police report, you can still have a valid case.

Seeking medical attention is important after any bicycle crash. Concussions, soft tissue injuries, and broken bones are common in bike accidents. Often, in the rush and excitement after a crash, the injured party fails to see a physician, assuming it’s not necessary. Failing to seek medical attention immediately after a crash can leave you vulnerable. Undiagnosed concussions can be dangerous and, even if you were wearing a helmet, are very common.

If you have suffered moderate or severe injuries in your crash, you are likely facing numerous medical bills and may need to take unpaid leave from work. In the weeks and months that come, your finances can spiral out of control. That’s why it is important to contact a bicycle attorney if you were in a bicycle accident today.
