Accident Scene Questions

What is the first thing I should do if I am involved in an Orange County Motorcycle Accident?

You should always call 911 immediately after being involved in any Orange County Motorcycle Accident.  A police agency will create a report and make a determination of who was at fault as well as contact emergency services if there are any accidents or injuries.  If you or someone else involved in the OC Motorcycle Accident has suffered injuries you must seek medical attention immediately.

Do I need to exchange information with the other driver?

It is vital to exchange information with any other drivers involved in the Orange County Motorcycle Accident.  You should obtain their name, address, phone number, insurance company, agent, agent contact information and policy number.  It is also recommended that you get the make and model of the vehicle, the license plate and any identifying markers.

Should I contact witnesses to my Orange County Motorcycle Accident?

Witnesses could be vital to your OC Motorcycle Injury case.  They may have seen erratic or reckless driving by the other motorist prior to the accident or witnessed the cause of the accident.  You should always get the names and numbers of any witnesses and try to get them to write down what they saw.  The longer time that transpires between the incident and when a statement is needed means the less likely that the witness will remember everything.
