Things To Consider In Filing A Motorbike Accident Claim

By Tom Doerr


When one is involved in an accident of any kind involving a motorcycle, there are quite a number of reports to contend with and procedures. This can be a headache in filing against an insurance company of the other party involved or even with your own insurance providers. There are some good things to know when about to file a motorbike accident claim.

When starting or in the instance of filing, you should know one or two very important things in doing so. The most important thing to do at the onset of is to have the police make a very detailed report, especially if they responded to it at the scene. The more detailed it is the easier it will be to have it accepted. Include everything, no matter how minor, from damage to injuries sustained.

Next remember that you can only make a claim if it was partially your fault or not your fault at all. Details that are needed in determining whose fault it really is number quite a few. However, the most determining factors will be speed, position and protective gear worn.

Motorcycle accidents should be reported immediately to authorities. In some cases there arise that the other party does not have insurance, or worse he or she runs away from the scene. In this case, your claim can still be filed with the governing body regarding hit and run cases, like the Motor Insurance Bureau.

When making an insurance claim for a motorcycle incident, there are quite a few forms to fill out and also reports to do to fill in details. But what if one is too badly injured to do so? In this case the services of a personal injury solicitor can be acquired.

The personal injury solicitor is basically the guy who will do the legwork for you in making the documentary requirement and standard reports for that claim. These reports can include but not limited to personal injury reports, damage reports, hospital reports and so on and so forth. He or she is a very valuable asset on your side should you not be able to do these reports due to your physical condition.
