Taking the right steps after an 18-wheeler accident can protect both your health and your legal claim.
If possible, follow these steps:
- Call 911 and request medical assistance.
- Gather information from the truck driver, including their name, employer, and insurance details.
- Take photos and videos of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and any visible injuries.
- Get contact information from witnesses.
- Seek medical attention even if injuries seem minor—some conditions take time to appear.
- Avoid speaking with the trucking company’s insurance adjuster before consulting a lawyer.
