What To Do After A Motorcycle Accident

After an accident the insurance company representing the party  at fault will gather evidence to determine what, if any, they are required to pay. Their goal, at this point, is to pay out the lowest amount possible in damages. The most important thing to remember is not to simply accept the first settlement offered to you by the insurance company. In some cases, it is usually best to not even talk to the insurance company without consulting an attorney first.
