What to Do After a Truck Accident

Getting into a truck accident can be quite shocking and cause you to experience a wide range of emotions. However, it is important to remain calm and take the necessary steps to ensure your right to compensation. 

Here are steps you should take after a truck accident.

  • Call the police. First and foremost, you need to contact the police. They will come to the truck accident scene and file a police report. The report will include important information about the crash, such as when and where it occurred and who may have been at-fault. Don’t forget to obtain a copy of the police report for your records.
  • Take photos. If you’re physically capable, try to take several photos of the truck accident scene, including all the vehicles involved in the accidents, traffic signs and skid marks on the road. If you have visible injuries, like cuts or bruises, you should take photos of those as well.
  • Seek medical care. Truck accidents often result in serious injuries, like traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries, so a Fairfax truck accident lawyer may advise you to get immediate emergency medical care. A doctor should assess your injuries and then advise on the proper treatment. If you delay medical care, you could put your health and injury claim in jeopardy.
  • Write down everything you remember about the accident. Memories tend to fade over time, so it is a good idea to jot down everything you remember about the truck accident as soon as possible. For example, if you noticed that the truck driver was swerving in and out of lanes right before the collision, you should write that information down. Also, you may want to write down how your injuries have affected your life so far.
  • Be cautious when communicating with the insurance company. After a truck accident, the defendant’s insurance company may try to contact you. Be extra careful about what you say to them. Don’t provide details about your injuries and avoid giving a recorded statement. If they try to offer you a settlement, tell them that you have to discuss it with your lawyer first.
  • Hire a lawyer. Truck accident cases are one of the most complex types of personal injury claims. They often involve severe injuries and property damage and multiple liable parties. That is why it is important to have a qualified truck accident lawyer on your side. A lawyer will know the true value of your case and help you gather the necessary evidence. He or she will also handle communication with the insurance company.
