What to do after a bicycle accident in Lawton

Most people don’t know what to do after a bad bicycle accident unless they have already been in one. If you are a cyclist, it’s helpful to know what to do in case you are in a crash. These steps are designed to both protect your health and help strengthen your case.

After a bad accident, your number one priority is your health and safety and that of others, too. Only proceed to action if it is safe to do so.

  • Call 911. Or ask someone else to do it. Be direct in your requests to specific people.
  • Stay at the scene. In Oklahoma, it is illegal to leave the scene of a crash if the collision resulted in bodily harm or significant property damage (unless you need to leave to get emergency medical attention). Even if you are injured in a hit and run, stay at the scene until the police arrive.
  • Take photos and videos. If you have a phone or camera on you, take photos and video of the crash focusing on the point of collision, injuries, and things like skid marks, broken fences, and other signs of the accident. Get pictures from multiple angles and distances.
  • Find witnesses. If anyone saw the accident, get their name, contact information, and community of residence. Ask them what they saw and write it down. Police will also interview witnesses, but not everyone can wait for emergency responders to arrive. It is best to collect this information yourself.
  • Get medical attention. Even if you “feel okay,” get checked out by an emergency medical technician and then see a doctor. The EMT may be able to find serious damage that you can’t feel yet. A doctor has more time, equipment, and training to conduct a thorough exam of your injuries.
