Sometimes however this can differ in the case of a motorcycle, as sometimes the odds are stacked against you when riding a motorcycle. There are therefore some steps to follow to make sure you get that motorbike accident claim that you file.

In general be aware some standard rules prior to fling your application. First make sure that if the police is at the scene of the accident make sure that they provide a very detailed report of the incident, even if it is just a minor scratch. Small injuries also can count in making a successful result also.

Next remember that you can only make a claim if it was partially your fault or not your fault at all. Details that are needed in determining whose fault it really is number quite a few. However, the most determining factors will be speed, position and protective gear worn.

Motorcycle accidents should be reported immediately to authorities. In some cases there arise that the other party does not have insurance, or worse he or she runs away from the scene. In this case, your claim can still be filed with the governing body regarding hit and run cases, like the Motor Insurance Bureau.
