Make your first priority to care for any injuries that you have suffered. If you lost a loved one in a motorcycle accident, you should prioritize the grieving process. Securing a financial recovery may also be a high priority for you. When it comes to financial recovery after a motorcycle accident, you may: Hire an attorney: Before your rights come under fire (they may already be at risk), hire an attorney to protect you. Continue to document your medical treatment: If you have received medical treatment, obtain documentation for that care. Paperwork detailing your doctor’s visits and injuries will likely be useful to your insurance claim or lawsuit. Keep a journal of your damages: You may also keep a detailed record of other damages. Your own account may best document your pain and suffering. Reach out to your lawyer with any questions or concerns: As your lawyer begins working on your case, you should reach out with all questions and concerns. Your attorney will gladly serve your needs. The person responsible for your motorcycle accident, their insurer, and others may be actively working to undermine your lawsuit or insurance claim. Having a lawyer to defend you should be priority number one.
