A motorcycle claim involves more than collecting records. See how timing, firsthand observations, road conditions, and expense documentation help clarify what evidence supports and what remains uncertain.
Different accounts and physical records can identify questions for review, but they do not independently determine fault, medical causation, coverage, or a claim outcome.
Keep accounts in their original form
- The date, time, source, viewpoint, and exact wording of a rider, driver, witness, officer, or other account
- Photographs, video, report entries, vehicle condition, roadway observations, and records kept separate from a person’s statement
- Details that agree, differ, are missing, or depend on an estimate clearly marked without selecting one version
- A later recollection, interpretation, or reconstruction kept separate from an event-time record
Use the report within its limits
The N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles’ Crash Reports page explains the current process for requesting available reports. A report may provide context, but it does not contain every fact or independently resolve disputed details.
