If you’ve been involved in a motorcycle accident and aren’t sure what to do net, follow our step-by-step guide:
1. Get medical help immediately – your health comes first.
Even if you think your injuries are minor, it’s critical to be evaluated by a medical professional. Many serious injuries, like concussions or internal bleeding, may not be immediately obvious. Prompt treatment not only protects your health—it also creates a medical record that will be essential if you pursue a legal claim.
2. Call the police – a formal accident report is crucial.
Always call 911 after a crash. When law enforcement arrives, they’ll assess the scene, take statements from everyone involved, and create an official report. This document is often a key piece of evidence in proving fault and securing compensation. Be clear and honest with the responding officer, but avoid speculating about blame.
3. Document the scene – gather as much evidence as possible.
If you’re physically able, take detailed photos of the scene, your injuries, the vehicles involved, road conditions, traffic signs, and anything else that might be relevant. Ask for names and contact information of witnesses, and keep your helmet, clothing, and motorcycle in the same condition they were in after the crash—these could serve as evidence later.
4. Don’t speak to the insurance company alone – let us do the talking.
Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts. They may ask leading questions, offer quick settlements, or record statements that could be used against you later. Before giving any statement or signing anything, contact an attorney. We’ll protect your rights and make sure you’re not taken advantage of.
5. Contact Matt & Ray – we’ll handle everything from here.
Once you reach out, we’ll step in and take over the heavy lifting. From investigating the accident and preserving evidence to negotiating with insurance companies and preparing for trial if necessary—we’re with you every step of the way. You’ll work directly with us, not a case manager or assistant. And you won’t pay a dime unless we win.
