00:03 and i have the privilege of helping
00:04 bicycle accident victims
00:06 today i’d like to talk to you about
00:07 three steps you should take immediately
00:09 after a bicycle accident
00:11 the first step you should take
00:13 immediately after a bicycle accident is
00:15 to call the police
00:16 the police will come to the scene
00:18 investigate the accident
00:20 identify potential witnesses to the
00:22 bicycle accident and most importantly
00:24 prepare a report of the bicycle to
00:27 confirm the bicycle accident did indeed
00:29 happen
00:30 the second step you take you need to
00:32 take immediately after a bicycle
00:33 accident is to get immediate medical
00:35 attention
00:36 even if you’re feeling okay even if you
00:38 don’t think you have any injuries or
00:40 symptoms
00:41 still go ahead and go get medical
00:43 attention
00:44 this is particularly important because
00:46 injuries oftentimes don’t manifest
00:47 themselves
00:48 right away the third step you need to
00:50 take after a bicycle accident
00:52 is to call your car insurance company
00:54 now it may seem strange to call your car
00:56 insurance company
00:57 after your bicycle accident but
00:59 importantly
01:00 your car insurance may provide very
01:02 valuable coverage
01:04 including your pip or personal injury
01:06 protection coverage
01:07 which provides ten thousand dollars in
01:09 medical benefits additionally in some
01:11 circumstances
01:12 your car’s um or underinsured and
01:14 uninsured motors coverage
01:16 may also apply to your bicycle accident
