What kind of evidence do I need to make a claim in a motorcycle accident?

Every motorcycle accident is a nerve-racking experience. If you want to recover compensation for your damages, you will need to have enough evidence to support the filing and settlement of a motorcycle accident claim. The following are the types of evidence you may need:

·         A police report will contain details about injuries, property damage and the cause of the crash, as well as its date, time and location. You may be able to use that report to support your claim.
·         Your helmet can play an important role for establishing that you didn’t contribute to your face or head injuries. Photograph your helmet at the scene, and don’t alter it in any way.
·         Photograph the accident scene and your motorcycle as it lies on the ground.
·         Write down the names and contact information of all witnesses. Write down what they saw, as their statement is invaluable.
·         Medical records are an important piece of evidence. Keep copies of the paramedics’ notes, your medical bills, the written diagnosis and prognosis of your doctor, and any test results from MRIs or CAT scans.
