You should also wear protective gear while riding a motorcycle, such as gloves, jackets, pants, and shoes.

What To Do After an Accident Occurred

Law enforcement should be notified of the collision, and a report should be filed. If you are interviewed at the accident scene, tell the truth about what you saw and experienced. Be careful with your words and avoid making assumptions about things you don’t understand. Victims who are anxious and shocked immediately following an accident may apologize profusely, even when they aren’t at fault. An insurance company can use this act of kindness to prove you admitted guilt to avoid paying out.
