Most probably almost everyone may face cycling accident in their life. In fact accident will near at you for your irresponsibility. In fact I have never been in a cycling accident during my period anywhere. According some statistic there are over 90% in Boulder County Colorado where the cyclists and cars have worked out some kind of shaky truce.

A car can stop faster than a bicycle because it can safely skid all four wheels. The cyclist can not stop their bike in time at a short stopping distance so in this time helmet may safe your life. However there are some preliminary things to perform if you have faced any accident which are described in bellow. The first thing is to wear a helmet. For God’s sake accident may not come at you. But if you do have face any cycling accident, what you will have to do? Do you ever think about this?

lways call the police immediately after the accident. You will not know the extent of damage to you, the car, and your bicycle at the time of the accident. If you will not file a police report later the claims will be messy. Police will likely collect IDs and reports from everybody involved, including witnesses. You need to say the witnesses to stay there until the case is not registered. Make sure that they are clear about what really happened and they need to say that in front of the police. The police may write a more favorable report based on the witness reports.

Make sure that you get the report from the police, information about the driver's insurance, and the full contact information for the driver, and all witnesses. If you have any injuries other than minor or a minor road rash, you should run for a treatment to a near hospital well after the formalities with the police are complete. After an accident you are likely to be in shock, everything will seem ok but that is just because your brain is censoring all serious damage. After an accident you are not able to judge the severity of your injuries.

You need to take a piece of paper and wrote down exactly what happened at your accident. If you want to take action again that incident, be hurry as soon as possible. You can produce some legal certificate if you do have because the legal procedure may take months and you will have forgotten all the details by then. Most importantly you need to recall details to your accident and write down what happened.

You can get a help from the insurance company. Make sure that insurance companies are in the business to avoid this but you need to bold. The driver's insurance will do all they to protect their insured. Make sure that your written notes, the police report about the cycling accident and any written notes about the from witnesses are in your possession.

You'll have to deal with two insurance companies. Your own health insurance and the driver's insurance. Even you may consider securing an attorney to help with the driver's insurance company. If possible get help from a lawyer.
