Motorcycle Accidents
It is almost impossible to escape injuries in motorcycle and bicycle accidents. Riders are therefore encouraged to wear safety helmets all the time. Helmets save lives by reducing the severity of head injuries in the event of a collision. Should you be involved in a motorcycle accident, you are encouraged to notify the authorities who will then issue you with a written report of the incident. You are also encouraged to take photos of any injuries you suffer and damages to your motorcycle. It is also a good idea to keep copies of any medical records and any related expenses.
