1. Seek Medical Attention Immediately
   Even if you feel fine, injuries like concussions or internal trauma may not show symptoms right away. Documentation of injuries is critical for your claim.
2. Report the Accident
   Call the police and ensure an official report is filed. This report can serve as valuable evidence for your case.
3. Collect Evidence
   Take photos of the scene, your injuries, and the damage to your bicycle. Obtain contact information for the driver and any witnesses.
4. Avoid Speaking to Insurance Adjusters Without Legal Advice
   Insurance companies may offer quick, low settlements. Consult an attorney before agreeing to anything.
