Being involved in a bicycle accident can be one of the most terrifying and stressful experiences of your life. The possibility of facing serious injury or even death, whether as a cyclist, pedestrian, or motorist, is profoundly traumatic. Beyond the immediate physical harm, there are significant emotional and financial burdens that can arise. Medical bills, time lost from work, the need for ongoing rehabilitation, and the potential loss of your bicycle or other personal property can all be overwhelming. This is why having a cycling accident lawyer is crucial when such accidents occur.

    What to Do at the Scene of a Bicycle Accident with Injuries or Damages

    If you find yourself involved in a bicycle accident with injuries or damages, it’s essential to stay calm and take the following steps:

    1. Call emergency services or 911.
    In case of serious injuries resulting from the bicycle accident, call for help immediately. This ensures that police, ambulances, and even fire trucks are on their way to assist. The emergency operator might guide you through the next steps while you are on the phone. If there is a fire or the smell of fuel, report it immediately.

    2. Check yourself and everyone involved for injuries.

    While remaining on the phone with the emergency services operator, check yourself and any others involved for injuries. If you can, check the drivers of any vehicles involved, other cyclists, and pedestrians for injuries. If you are a pedestrian and able to call for help, report your own injuries to help the operator understand the situation fully.

    3. Take photos of the scene.

    If you are uninjured and can move around safely, use your smartphone to take pictures of the accident scene. Document any personal injuries, property damage, skid marks, or other evidence that could help determine who was at fault. It may also be helpful to photograph the make, model, and license plates of any vehicles involved.

    4. Get the information of any other party involved.

    If your bicycle accident involves a motor vehicle, gather contact information from the driver, if possible. You may also want to photograph their license and insurance cards if they agree. Additionally, collect contact information from any witnesses who are willing to provide statements about what they saw.

    5. Remain at the scene.

    Do not leave the scene of the accident until a police officer has given you permission to do so. It’s also advisable to be checked by ambulance services before leaving, even if you believe your injuries are minor.
