Key takeaways

A guide to evidence, medical documentation, helmet issues, bias against riders, and common motorcycle crash injuries. This guide is general information for injury claim research and should be confirmed with a lawyer licensed in the relevant state.

What to document

  • Medical diagnosis, treatment plans, bills, and follow-up recommendations
  • Photos, videos, police reports, incident reports, and witness names
  • Insurance letters, claim numbers, adjuster contact information, and recorded statement requests
  • Lost income records, repair estimates, receipts, and other out-of-pocket losses

When to compare lawyers

Consider comparing lawyers when injuries are serious, fault is disputed, an insurer is pushing for a quick settlement, a commercial vehicle is involved, or long-term medical care may be needed.
