First Steps After an Accident

When you are injured in a motorcycle accident, it is of utmost importance that you allow a physician to carefully examine you, as not all injuries may appear right away; sometimes there is an injury that does not show itself until well after the accident. Major issues such as internal bleeding may not be readily apparent to the untrained eye, but can be fatal if not addressed quickly.

In fact, one of the most dangerous types of internal bleeding is a subdural hematoma, or bleeding outside of the brain caused by a severe head injury. Symptoms of subdural hematomas can take as long as two weeks to appear, so a thorough checkup from a doctor is absolutely essential to prevent fatality.

Finding the Right Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Legally, motorcycle accidents are different from auto accidents. There are specific legal issues that need to be addressed to make sure that the injured party has his or her rights protected. If you have been involved in a motorcycle accident, make sure that the attorney who represents you has the background and the experience needed to understand these issues. For the best outcome possible, you should select a Milwaukee personal injury attorney to represent you that is familiar with the art and intricacies of motorcycle riding.

The attorneys at Jacobson, Schrinsky & Houck are not only committed to motorcycle riders in Wisconsin, they are motorcycle riders themselves, so you can trust that they understand the complexities of your case.
