Coming off your bike is stressful enough without the confusion of what happens next. If you have had a motorcycle accident in Sydney, knowing the right steps, from the scene to the repair, makes the whole process far less painful. Here is a clear guide from the motorcycle accident repair team at Trooper Lu’s Garage.

At the scene: your first steps

Your safety comes first. Move out of traffic if you can, check yourself and others for injuries, and call 000 if anyone is hurt. Once it is safe, exchange names, contact and insurance details with any other parties, take photos of the damage and the scene, and note the time and location. If the damage is significant or another rider or driver is at fault, report the accident to police and get an event number.

Lodging your insurance claim

Contact your insurance company as soon as you can to lodge a claim and get a claim number. If another party was at fault, the claim may go through their insurer instead of yours. Either way, keep your claim number handy, as your repairer will need it to get your motorcycle assessed and repaired.

You have the right to choose your repairer

This is the part many riders do not realise: in most cases you have the right to choose your own repairer, even if your insurer suggests one of their preferred shops. Choosing a motorcycle specialist, rather than a general car smash repairer, means your bike is assessed and repaired by people who understand motorcycles. Just tell your insurer you would like your motorcycle repaired at Trooper Lu’s Garage.
