Steps to Take after a Bicycle – Car Accident

  1. Get appropriate medical care as soon as possible and follow up with your physician as required.  Initial medical care should be provided by a doctor.
  2. Notify your car insurance company, even if you were on your bicycle.  Let them know you were hurt and require an Application for Accident Benefits (OCF-1).  These benefits are available to you even if you caused the accident.
  3. Contact a personal injury lawyer for a free, no obligation consultation.
