Things you should know about motorcycle accidents

Involvement in a motorcycle accident is a frightening, confusing experience for anybody. The following procedures are general guidelines you should follow:

1. Stop immediately: Do not leave the scene. If there are no injuries, move vehicles out of the flow of traffic.
2. Check for injuries: do not assume that a lack of a visible injury means that a person is not hurt.
3. Call the police: a motorcycle accident should be reported to the proper authorities, and the report may be helpful later in determining fault and receiving your due compensation.
4. Exchange information: write down the name, address, phone number, insurance information, etc. of the person(s) who were involved in the incident.
