Before being airlifted, the victim was treated at the scene of the incident, and the at-fault driver remained on the scene and cooperated with law enforcement personnel.

In this issue, the reputable motorcycle accident attorney in Encino, Ramtin Sadighim, will share the necessary steps to take when involved in a motorcycle accident.

What to Do:

• Check for injuries

  Take yourself through a mental checklist to identify possible injuries. Call medical and law enforcement personnel to the scene of the accident. Receiving medical attention should be your priority.

• Photograph the scene of the accident

• Move your motorcycle out of the way

  Again, if you’re able, move your motorcycle away from the road so that it will not be a hazard for other drivers.

• Identify as many witnesses as possible

  Be sure to record the names and contact information of those who saw the accident. It’s important to talk with them immediately after the accident while their memories are still fresh.

• Contact an attorney

  Provide your lawyer with as much information as possible and follow their advice to the letter.

• Notify your insurance provider

  While being sure not to admit to any fault of your own, provide your insurance provider with the details you’ve been able to collect.
