After a motorcycle collision in California

Start with safety and a factual timeline

• Seek appropriate emergency medical assistance when needed; do not delay care to document a scene.
• Write down the approximate date, location and what you actually remember. Mark uncertain details as uncertain.
• Preserve existing photographs of the roadway, motorcycle, equipment and other relevant items without putting yourself at risk.
• Keep receipts and records you already possess in a private folder.

Questions to take to a licensed attorney

• What kinds of records are useful for understanding this motorcycle incident?
• Could you explain applicable deadlines for this situation rather than a general example?
• Who would actually handle my matter, and how would communication work?
• How are attorney fees, investigation costs and other case expenses handled?
• Which matters need factual clarification before anyone evaluates the incident?
