Ten Easy Steps for Filing Accident Compensation Claim for Motorbike Accidents

Motorbike accident is nothing but a road traffic accident from legal perspective. The victim of the accident has to establish the fact that he had actually no fault at the time of the accident by providing pertinent evidences and documents. He has to prove that the accident had happened because of some other person’s negligence and he had actually no part played in it. By law, the insurer of the other car driver has to deal with the accident compensation claim filed by the victim and act according to the verdict of the court. However, though filing this sort of claim is easy and if it was transparent a fact that the victim had no fault at the time of the accident, many victims of motorbike accidents do not know how to file a claim of this sort. For them, here are ten easy steps that are considered sure-fire tactics to win a motorbike accident claim.

• Step 1: You need to ensure that the model name, color, make and other vehicles are all noted down, either by you or some bystander. The car number is the most important point to note down. Even if the other vehicle tries to abscond, you need to get at least the car number.

• Step 2: If it was a concertina accident (an accident where more than two cars were either involved or damaged or both), you need to keep count of the damages received by other cars as well.

• Step 3: Take a note of the names and addresses of all other car drivers who were somewhat involved in the accident you faced. This is one of the most important evidences as most of these persons might be summoned in court during proceedings.

• Step 4: You need to scribble down the names and addresses of all the witnesses around.

• Step 5: One of the most imperative steps to be taken in order to win the accident compensation claim, you must not disclose anything in public. Chances are there that the other car’s driver or his insurer will try to make an out-of-court settlement with you, but better you try not to get entrapped and admit slightest liability by any chance.

• Step 6: You need to write down a detailed narrative of the accident once you sustain your injuries and get back to normal life.

• Step 7: Try to get in contact with witnesses and get their narratives of the accident too.

• Step 8: Get in contact with your insurers as soon as possible and describe them what happened exactly.

• Step 9: Consult a physician for medicinally treating your injuries. Accrue and arrange all the medical bills.

• Step10: Calculate collateral damages and losses.

Once all these steps are taken, you can take resort to a personal injury solicitor who deals with motorbike accident claim and all sorts of road accident claims.
