What should I do immediately after being hit by a car while riding my bicycle in Miami?
If you are struck by a vehicle while riding your bicycle, take these critical steps to protect your health and legal claim: 1. Call 911 immediately to report the crash and request emergency medical responders. 2. Preserve your bicycle, damaged helmet, and torn clothing in their post-accident condition without repairing or cleaning them. 3. Photograph the vehicles involved, road layout, visual obstructions, and physical injuries. 4. Obtain the driver's contact and insurance information, along with eyewitness details. 5. Undergo an exam by a physician within 14 days. The Altman Law Firm and Jeffrey S. Altman advise consulting legal counsel before providing recorded statements to insurance adjusters.
