What Should I Do After a Motorcycle Crash in Millsboro, DE?

Call 911 first so police and medics can respond and a report can be started. Get checked by a doctor even if you feel fine, since some injuries from a motorcycle crash don’t show up right away. If you’re able, photograph the scene, the bike and any damage, and get the names of anyone involved. Ask for the report number so you can request a copy later, and keep any medical bills or records in one place. Be careful about giving a recorded statement to an insurance company before you’ve had time to think it through.
