At Mandelaris Law, we’ve represented many riders and their families after life-changing crashes. This guide walks you through exactly what to do next and why it’s critical to consult a Colorado Springs motorcycle accident lawyer as soon as possible.
🚑 Step 1: Get Medical Help Immediately
Your safety comes first. Get medical attention even if injuries don’t feel severe right away. Delayed symptoms like concussions or internal injuries are common.
🚓 Step 2: Report the Crash and Document Everything
Call 911. Take photos of the scene, any visible injuries, and damage. Save the police report — it’s a key piece of your case. If you hire Mandelaris Law, we’ll help collect all necessary documentation.
🗣️ Step 3: Don’t Admit Fault — Let the Facts Speak
Colorado uses modified comparative negligence. If you’re over 50% at fault, you may be denied compensation. Avoid saying anything like “I’m sorry” at the scene.
