A motorcycle rider involved in an accident caused by a negligent driver can face many serious injuries.
On top of that, the rider might have difficulty claiming compensation from the other driver's insurance company.
For instance, the insurance company might determine that their driver was not at fault and may deny parts of, or all of, the expenses that the victim now faces.
As such, it is important to gather all relevant information surrounding your accident so that you can make the strongest claim possible for compensation from the other motorist's insurance company.
The following list provides a few tips to keep in mind if you were recently involved in an accident:

• Exchange detailed information with the other driver such as, the other driver's name, address, phone number, license plate number, make, model and type of vehicle, insurance carrier's name, phone number, and insurance policy number.
  
• Avoid making statements about who you think was at fault.
  Police reports reflect that information, and insurance companies usually determine fault on the basis of the police report.
  
• Do not delay when filing your claim.
  
• Make sure the insurer accepts its client's liability before proceeding with repairs.
  Also, obtain authorization in writing.
  
• In the event of a dispute, an insurer will contact you to get your version of what happened; be prepared and cautious in such a situation.
  
• If no police report was made, and the at-fault driver changes the story to reflect his or her innocence, his or her insurer will more than likely back that viewpoint.
  That is why it is crucial for victimized driver to call the police in the event of an accident.
  You may still be able to claim damages from the at-fault driver's insurer by taking photographs of the vehicles involved in the accident, gathering eyewitness statements, etc.
