The starting point of our investigation after a motorcycle crash is often the police report completed by the officer who first responded to the scene. Our attorneys could examine the report to see if the officer issued any citations, which we could use as evidence to clearly establish fault. The police report could also direct us to any witnesses or bystanders who might have observed the accident.
We could interview witnesses to determine if their accounts corroborate what you believe happened. We know how to ask the right questions to get a complete understanding. For instance, if you believe the driver who struck you was distracted at the time of the crash, we could ask witnesses if they saw the driver looking down, which could indicate they were changing the radio station, picking up something that fell, or similar.
We could check the surrounding area to see if there are any surveillance cameras or traffic cameras that could provide footage of the accident.
We could help you preserve physical evidence from the crash, such as pictures of your damaged motorcycle, helmet, or clothing.
If necessary, our attorneys could consult with an accident reconstruction specialist who could explain how the accident likely happened.
Our hardworking legal team could comb through the evidence from your motorcycle crash to help you establish the liability of the driver who caused your accident.
After establishing liability, you must collect proof of the harm your bike crash in Waterford caused you to show that the accident caused the damages you seek to claim.
If your injuries are not too severe, you should try to take pictures at the scene of the accident of any damage to the car and your motorcycle. You should also take photographs of your wounds and continue to photograph them as they heal.
Seeing a doctor as soon as possible after the accident could provide a causal link between the crash and your injuries. You should keep all records and bills relating to any treatments.
You should keep copies of any receipts for expenses relating to the accident. If your accident prevents you from working, you should keep all employment records that could show any lost wages.
