What Should Cyclists Do After a Vehicle Accident?
Cyclists involved in a vehicle accident should first move to a safe place if they can do so without worsening any injuries. Medical attention may be needed even when pain seems minor at first, since some problems can become more noticeable later. If possible, photos of the bicycle, vehicle damage, traffic signs, and the surrounding roadway can help document what occurred. Contact information for drivers and witnesses should also be collected when it is safe to do so. Keeping records of medical visits, treatment, and other expenses can help preserve an accurate account of the harm caused. A bicycle accident can involve both physical and property-related losses, making careful documentation useful from the earliest stages.
