Don’t admit liability. Even if you believe that you may have been the cause of the accident, or even partly your fault, this could have a detrimental effect on your legal position. It’s easy to assume you’re at fault following an accident when you’re in shock.
Take lots of photographs: Try to get photos that show the position of the vehicles on the road. Include photographs of your own motorcycles and any other parked vehicles in the area.
Get witness details: If there are any witnesses in the area who saw the collision, try to get their names and addresses so that you can pass them onto your insurance company or the police. Witnesses can be critical in both pursuing and defending a claim.
Make sure you exchange your details: Make sure you exchange your name, registration number, phone number, address and your insurance details
Make a record of the accident: It’s easy to forget small tiny details after an accident. Try to write down your account of the accident as soon as possible while it’s still fresh in your mind.
