Immediately following a motorcycle accident, everyone involved should get themselves to a safe area. The rider and the passengers are often vulnerable to additional injury from other passing motor vehicles, especially if the wreck happens at night or in bad weather. After getting themselves and others safe, they should contact emergency medical care. It is also critical to preserve evidence in the immediate aftermath of the wreck.
Speaking to McKinney Insurance Companies
There is no law that requires an injured person to contact an insurance company after a wreck. Though it may be best to notify the insurance company, it is always better to have a lawyer handle that conversation. Insurance companies often will minimize the severity of one’s injuries and deflect blame off the person they are insuring. If a person is involved in a motorcycle wreck, they often do not know the full extent of their medical injuries for many weeks or months. Insurance companies try to use that fact to limit the compensation they pay. If a motorcycle rider does not have insurance, they should still contact a lawyer if another person is at fault for their injury. Texas does not prevent people from bringing third party accident claims if they do not have insurance. In cases where they do not have health insurance, they can get the medical treatment they need is by hiring an attorney to issue letters of protection. This is increasingly common as more people go without health insurance.
