What to Do After Accident
1
Get medical care first
Even if you “feel fine,” get checked—adrenaline masks injuries and records protect your claim.
2
Preserve your gear
Keep your helmet, jacket, gloves, and boots; do not repair or wash—these are powerful evidence of impact.
3
Document the scene
Photos of the bike, skid marks, debris, vehicle positions, camera locations, and visible injuries—only if safe.
4
Don’t give recorded statements
Insurers move fast and rider-bias is real. Send calls to us—we’ll handle communications.
5
Call our office
We coordinate treatment, investigate liability, and pursue maximum compensation.
When do you need a motorcycle accident lawyer in Hartford?
After a crash—even if the damage looks minor—speak to a lawyer quickly. We counter rider-bias, secure video and helmet/gear evidence, and take over insurer communications so you can focus on healing.
Left-turn crashes
Drivers often misjudge a rider’s speed and turn across the lane. We secure video, sight-line measurements, and witness statements.
Merge & blind-spot impacts
Lane-changes into riders are common. We analyze mirror setup, dash-cam/telematics, and lane position.
Dooring incidents
Opened doors can throw a rider off instantly. Photos, door angle, and curb/parking context matter—call us early.
Rear-end at stoplights
“low-speed” hits cause serious injury to riders. We obtain phone logs, video, and braking data to prove distraction.
Road hazards & defects
Gravel, potholes, tracks, or poor signage may shift liability. We document conditions and evaluate municipal/contractor responsibility.
Uninsured / underinsured claims
If the at-fault driver has little or no coverage, we pursue UM/UIM benefits under your policy to close the gap.
Gathering evidence
We collect police reports, EMS, ER records, helmet & gear inspection, bike damage photos, intersection/camera video, and phone/GPS data.
Deadlines
Connecticut has strict filing deadlines. Contact us ASAP to protect evidence and preserve your claim.
