  • Auto Parts Manufacturers
  • Government entities
  • Motorcycle Parts Manufacturers
  • Negligent pedestrians
  • Negligent truckers
  • One or more negligent drivers

What Our Clients Say

“Steve got me a very nice settlement when a truck hit me. He also offered me a discount on legal fees when we didn’t have to go to court. I plan to use Langer & Langer again on a more recent matter.”

What to Do After a Motorcycle Accident in Indiana

The steps you take in the moments, days, and weeks following a motorcycle accident can significantly impact your physical and emotional wellbeing, as well as the outcome of your personal injury claim or lawsuit. If you make a wrong move, say the wrong thing, or fail to take legal action in time, you could lose your right to recover compensation.

Our Indiana motorcycle accident lawyers recommend that victims do the following after a crash.

  • Seek Medical Treatment

Your wellbeing is priority after a motorcycle accident. If your injuries are severe, get to the nearest emergency room or accept help from the paramedics who arrive on the scene. If no injuries are immediately apparent, or you believe your injuries are minor, be sure to get evaluated by a medical professional within 24 hours after the crash.

  • Gather Evidence

Take photos or videos of the crash site with your cellphone or a camera. Be sure to note the positions of the vehicles involved, the location of signs or traffic lights, and anything else that may have an impact on your claim. Additionally, get the names and contact information of any witnesses, and create a journal to jot down what you remember about your motorcycle accident.

  • Watch What You Say

Except for your injury lawyer, it is best to avoid speaking to anyone about your motorcycle accident. The things you say on social media, to the police, the other party, witnesses, the insurance company, and even your friends can be used against you if your personal injury claim goes to court.

  • Hire a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Your motorcycle accident lawyer can help ensure that all factors that contributed to your crash are identified, so the liable parties can be held accountable. He or she will also negotiate with the insurance company for a fair settlement, and represent you in court if necessary.
