If you have been in a bicycle accident, there are a few main things you want to do immediately. First, always prioritize your physical and mental health. If you have been severely injured or experienced extreme circumstances, seek care above all. Secondly, one of the most critical first steps is to wait for the police to arrive, if physically possible. You will want to avoid negotiating a story with the driver responsible for the accident. Instead, wait to document an accurate report with the police officer that records the accident on the scene. Always ensure that your voice is heard. Sometimes, a driver may attempt to control the narrative. Unfortunately, sometimes a police officer will not even bother to speak to the pedestrian. If you end up with an inaccurate police report on file, our firm can support you by having the report amended.
