What To Do After a Motorcycle Accident
A motorcycle accident can be very serious, from broken bones to internal injuries. Because the shell of a vehicle does not protect you, you are at a higher risk of serious and catastrophic injuries. Helmets protect the brain, but all other organs have very little to no protection.
You must listen to your physician after your motorcycle crash because healing correctly will save you pain and suffering down the road. After you’ve been involved in a motorcycle accident, be sure to consider the following;
- Seek immediate medical attention—call 911
- Remove yourself safely away from oncoming traffic or vehicles leaking gasoline
- Try to remain calm and still, so you don’t aggravate your injuries
- Do not speak to the at-fault driver who caused the accident
- Try and note everything if you can
- Take photos of the accident scene, your injuries, and the location
- Get contact information from witnesses
- Do not admit fault or speak with insurance companies
- Follow all doctor’s advice for optimal recovery
- Consult an attorney who specializes in motorcycle accidents

The Importance of a Helmet in Motorcycle Crashes
It may just be a piece of plastic, but that piece of plastic can save you from numerous head injuries and even more importantly, your life. According to the World Health Organization a helmet actually by lowering the impact to your skull.
The helmet operates in that it lowers the chance of brain movement on impact, expands the force of the impact so the head is not damaged in one particular area, and acts as a barrier between you and the pavement.
Safety Tips When Riding a Motorcycle
Being in a motorcycle accident can be devastating to you, your body, and your loved ones. There are precautions you can take to lessen your chances of being involved in a collision.
Invest in a Bike You Can Actually Ride
While it’s nice to want to take on a huge Harley Davidson, it may not be the best fit for you. When finding the bike for you, you have to consider if it’s even within reach.
When shopping for a prospective bike, be sure that you can sit comfortably and reach for the peddles handlebars, and controls. Another important factor is being able to reach the floor. Being able to reach the floor is vital to having control and balance when making a stop.
Wear the Proper Gear
Although constantly having to put on layers upon layers may be tedious, it is necessary for your comfort and safety. You want to wear equipment that can protect you from the elements, such as rain and even bugs.
Even it’s summer, it’s strongly advised that a durable jacket be worn to prevent road rash. In case you are wondering what road rash is, it’s a skin injury that occurs when you slide on the pavement, and it’s way more unattractive and painful than your average rash.
Try to Not Ride in Bad Weather
Riding a motorcycle in the rain might not be the safest thing to do. In the first drizzle, the street becomes slippery, and the grip of your tires may not be as strong. In harsh weather, it is better to be gentle on the brakes or even give your motorcycle a rain check.
