What you should do after a motorcycle crash
After a motorcycle crash, get medical care and keep every record. Head injuries can be more serious than they first appear. You can ask the Fulton County Sheriff's Office for the crash report, and this guide explains how to obtain an Indiana crash report.
Save your helmet, gear, and damaged parts. Take photos of the motorcycle and scene when it is safe to do so. Evidence can disappear quickly, and the firm's guide to evidence after an Indiana crash explains why careful preservation matters.
If the other driver has not been identified, notify your own insurance company promptly. Uninsured motorist coverage may depend on the policy and its notice requirements. You can learn more about uninsured and underinsured motorist claims.
Why the location matters
This crash happened at a rural highway intersection near Akron in Fulton County, and the Fulton County Sheriff's Office took the report. A civil case is usually filed in the county where the crash happened or where a defendant lives.
Indiana divides fault among those involved under Ind. Code 34-51-2-6. An injured person whose fault is greater than 50 percent cannot recover; otherwise, any recovery is reduced by that person's percentage of fault. A police report does not decide civil liability.
Most Indiana personal injury claims must be filed within two years under Ind. Code 34-11-2-4. When another driver cannot be identified or does not carry enough insurance, uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage under Ind. Code 27-7-5-2 may provide a source of recovery, depending on the policy and the facts.
