Bicycle Crash Incident Checklist by Bronx Bicycle Injury Attorney Glenn Herman

Car accidents are a common occurrence in New York City. In 2019, 29 cyclists were killed in traffic accidents, while more than 4000 people ended up in the ER due to a Cycling injury. If you have been  injured and suffered a bicycle injury in Manhattan, you need to take some immediate steps to make sure that you have the necessary evidence to get fairly compensated for your material losses and injuries sustained in the bike crash. Here's what you should do in the event you are a victim having sustained injuries after being involved in a bike crash accident:

  •  If possible move yourself to a safe location somewhere away from the crash scene and high traffic flow, especially if your bike wreck occurred on a highway or a road with heavy vehicle circulation. 
  • The next step is to assess your physical condition, which can be difficult if you are experiencing shock. If you are able to, call 911, if you are not able to, ask a passerby or the motorist that hit you to call for help. Ask for an ambulance and request a police officer write up and create a proper accident report of the crash scene.
  • While waiting for medical assistance and paramedics, try collecting photo evidence or have someone assist you. You can do this by using your phone, taking photographs or videos of the crash scene. Also, collect personal identification and insurance company information of the motorist who hit you. If a road defect created your spill and crash, take photos of the condition. Take the name, phone number and address of all witnesses. Obtaining this information may be crucial for a claim.
  • Seek proper medical treatment immediately to make sure that all your external and internal injuries are diagnosed and treated in a timely manner. If you report your injuries later, the insurance adjuster could claim that you were injured in another accident.
