What should I do immediately after a truck accident?

Your safety comes first. If you can move, get to a safe location away from traffic and call 911 right away. Truck accidents often involve serious injuries, so even if you feel fine, it's important to get checked out. Adrenaline can mask pain for hours or even days.

Once you're safe, a few steps can make a real difference in your case later:

  • Take photos of the vehicles, the road, skid marks, and any visible damage
  • Get the truck driver's name, license number, and the trucking company's information
  • Write down the truck's DOT number, which is usually printed on the door or trailer
  • Get contact information from any witnesses
  • Avoid discussing fault with the driver or their insurance company

Commercial trucking cases move fast on the company's end. Insurance adjusters and corporate legal teams often start their investigation within hours. The sooner you speak with an attorney, the sooner we can start protecting the evidence that matters.
