If you have been involved in a bicycle accident, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your injuries are serious, you should go to the hospital emergency room. Even if your injuries seem minor, it is still a good idea to be evaluated by a doctor to make sure there is no underlying damage. If you are able, you should also collect evidence from the accident scene, such as photos of the scene and your injuries, witness contact information, and the driver's insurance information. An experienced personal injury attorney can help you navigate the legal process and fight for the compensation you deserve.
