Obviously, if you have had an accident, and you are reading all of this advice, it’s probably been at least a few days since the accident. However, if it’s only been a few hours or if you ever have another accident, here’s what you should do the next time from the start.

 

First, take a look around and determine if you or anyone, are hurt. If so, taking steps like trying to prevent further injury or loss of blood are the most important thing you can do. Even if some other driver caused you to be injured, it’s just good manners to help the other driver if they are hurt. They may even be so thankful that they admit their fault to you. The worst thing you can do is get angry or start a fight.

 

Second, make sure everyone is safe from being injured further. If you are in the middle of traffic, and you are dizzy, sit down away from traffic. If your vehicle is a traffic hazard and you have accident warning devices like flares or triangles, put them out on the road to warn other drivers and get away from the car. Let the police an other emergency personnel investigate the scene with the vehicles in place and move them more safely at a later point.

 

Third, call the police. Accident reports are extremely helpful if the police will do such a report. Let the police know you are injured immediately. Answer the police questions honestly. But if you are dazed or confused, let them know you need medical treatment and answer only what you feel sure about. Remember, your statements can and will be used against you if you admit fault, and it will be too late and too fishy to later say you didn’t know what you were saying at the scene. Police know that your best recollection is immediately after an accident.

 

Fourth, get the other driver’s information including their names, addresses, driver’s license numbers, make and model of their vehicles, license plate numbers, and their insurance company name and policy number. If there are witnesses, get their names, addresses and telephone numbers as well. If the other driver makes any admissions of fault, write those down as well.

 

Fifth, if you have a camera on your cell phone or in the car and you aren’t too injured, take some photos of the vehicles and the scene. If you can’t do it right away, do it after you are released from the hospital.

Sixth, if you are hurt, obtain medical treatment. Don’t decline the ambulance or hospital examination to save your insurance company money or to be stoic. Take your valuables out of your car if you can and get checked out at the hospital. If you are not hurt, don’t get treatment you don’t need. However, remember, after an accident, you may feel a rush of adrenaline that causes you to only start feeling symptoms of pain a few hours later. If you have a health plan that requires you to obtain permission first, call them and find out where you are allowed to seek treatment.

 

Seventh, call a good bicycle accident lawyer as soon as you have had your initial treatment, so the attorney can gather other important evidence and prevent the insurance company from taking advantage of you and obtaining such things as recorded statements that you feel fine, when many of your symptoms have yet to manifest themselves. A good bicycle accident lawyer can save you from making a great deal of mistakes and can shoulder much of the hassle of knowing what to do about car repairs, car rentals, medical treatment, witness statements and the like. If you think you will save money by not having an attorney, think again. A good bicycle accident lawyer can almost always obtain much higher settlements, obtain reductions of medical bills and insurance liens and prevent you from making costly mistakes. Also, most bicycle accident attorneys advance costs of obtaining police reports, medical records and the like and are paid and reimbursed for these costs only out of any settlement.

 

Eight, you will need to report the accident to your insurance company, but since they will want to take a recorded statement from you, just like any other driver’s insurance company, it’s good advice to retain an attorney first. And if the other driver did not have insurance, remember that it is your own insurance company that will be your adversary. You will also need to report the accident to the Department of Motor Vehicles and your lawyer can give you the form for this.

 

Ninth, do not agree to settle your claim privately with the person at fault for the accident. This almost never works out to your advantage. Don’t agree not to call the police. Police reports that determine the fault for an accident are golden. Your agreement to not involve the police only affords an opportunity for the other driver to change his story and blame you when the police will no longer investigate the accident.

 

Tenth, don’t pay a traffic ticket without a fight if you weren’t at fault or agree to accept a small payment for your vehicle repairs without knowing that the amount will in fact cover the cost of all the repairs.

Though, the parts of the BMX bikes are similar to the common bikes there are some differences in their features.

All the parts of the BMX bikes have been designed so as to be light weight and in addition to this they also provide good strength. The parts as the seats or the pads and paddles should not be slippery and they user should feel comfortable while he is making use of them.

However, as these bikes have to bear extreme conditions of stress and strain some of their parts get damaged after using them for sometime. Therefore, various spare parts are available in the market. So that whenever you find the need to replace them you can easily get the parts.

The first thing that needs replacement after its use for sometime is the tire. You can get the BMX tires from the market. However you should remember that these tires should be broad ideally 20 inches, and they should have good grip on the ground. This is very important as in the BMX racing the danger that of the slipping of the racers is very high. In addition to this they tires should have tough rubber so that they will last for sometime. Or else they may burst due to the pressure when the rider jumps and lands on the ground.

Sometimes the need of replacing the complete tire can also occur. They are also available in the market. Before buying them you should take in to consideration that are made from good and rust proof metal. The spokes should have sufficient thickness. You will also find them as spare. The hub and the wheels should be good rotating.

The breaks are also the parts that get damaged after sometime. It is better to use the vertical pulling breaks for the BMX bikes. These breaks should have good pads so that they hold the rim efficiently. And in addition to this they also have to be strong enough. Otherwise there is always a danger that the pads may come out. The liver that pushes the pads on to the rim should have proper shape and therefore it should be efficient in pushing the pads in direct proportion to the applied pressure.

The next part that may need a replacement is the seat. As for the BMX racing the rider’s body is not able to remain in a constant position during the race the seats have to bear some pressure as the rider depends on them for remaining in one position. While replacing them you should remember that their shape should provide good support to the rider and they should also have good padding for his comfort.

These are some of the important parts that often need replacement. However, the other parts as the pads paddles, bearings and other parts of these bikes would also need replacement after use for sometime.
