Types of Crashes
There are four major types of cyclist crashes.
DOORING
If a car hits you while passing you, turning into you, disobeying a traffic signal, you get doored, or a car causes you to crash, here’s what you should do:
1. Get a photograph of their license plate
2. Call the police. Make sure to get a DC number so we can get the Police Report
3. Ask the driver to provide you with their insurance information.
4. Call us. We will set up a claim to get your medical bills paid, bicycle damage paid, and for the effect the crash has on your life.

1. Get a police report at the scene, or within 5 days of the crash. If the police officer does not give you a DC Police Report Number, ask for the Police Officer’s name and badge #.
OR
2. Take an ambulance to the hospital from the scene of the crash.
