What to Do After a Truck Accident

After a semi truck hits you, you will likely deal with the physical and emotional aftermath, as well as financial burdens from medical bills and lost wages. After a semi-truck accident, our attorneys recommend taking the following steps:

Call the Police. Contact local law enforcement and report the accident. They will create an official accident report, which will be useful when filing an insurance claim or pursuing legal action.
Gather Information. Collect as much information as possible at the scene of the accident. This includes the names, contact information, and insurance details of all parties involved, as well as any witnesses. Take photos and videos of the accident scene, including damage to vehicles and any visible injuries.
Do Not Admit Fault. In the aftermath of an accident, it is natural to feel shaken and unsure of what to say. However, you must avoid admitting fault or making any statements that could be used against you later.
Stick to the facts and avoid discussing the details of the accident with anyone other than the police and your lawyer.
Seek Medical Attention. Your health and well-being should be your top priority. Even if you do not think you are seriously injured, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. Some injuries may not be immediately apparent, and a medical professional can document your injuries and provide necessary treatment.
