What Do I Do If I’m Involved in a Truck Accident?

First, clear your vehicle off of the road or out of traffic. Next, call 911 or the non-emergency line, so that the appropriate authorities can assist and file a police report. Document the scene and all vehicles involved, including license plates and any other identifying information. Cellphone pictures and video can serve as important evidence. Also remember to get witness contact information. Seek medical attention and ask your doctor to evaluate you thoroughly for any invisible or late-onset conditions, like whiplash and concussion. Finally, call a qualified lawyer to discuss your legal rights.
