Law Tigers: After an Accident

Hi, Kevin Bass here at Vintage Bike Addiction. We're here today with Fix My Hog and our friends from Law Tigers to talk to you a little bit about what to do after you get in an accident. Now at Fix My Hog, we show you a lot about servicing bikes, building bikes, customizing bikes, but God forbid when you're out on the road riding and an accident happens, Law Tigers has your back. Now there's four things they call for after you've been in an accident that you should remember. The first thing is get yourself out of harm's way.

As soon as you've been in an accident, don't stay right there in the immediate area of the accident. Get yourself off somewhere safe in case another vehicle's coming on the road that could collide with that and cause more problems. Within that, once you're out of harm's way, check yourself for injuries. Documenting on yourself, am I hurt? Do I feel okay?

And then lastly, if you have another rider with you and they look like they're injured, don't try to take their gear off. You want to wait till the paramedics get there. The second thing they recommend right away once you're out of harm's way, call the police, take pictures, document the crime scene, so you have everything on tape, pictures, everything, so that when the police do show up, that you can show them what happened in case anything got moved around. Make sure you get the other driver's info that was in the accident and make sure again you keep everything the way it was and wait for the police to arrive. The third thing is, you want to see a doctor as soon as you can.

When you get in an accident, you're gonna have adrenaline going through your system. You may not feel those little aches and pains right away. And what you don't want to have happen is a couple of days go by and all of a sudden you realize your back hurts, your shoulder hurts, your neck hurts. So get to a doctor as soon as possible, get checked out, have them look you over to make sure you don't have any injuries. The fourth thing to do is always call your lawyer right away.
