Important Next Steps After a Truck Accident
Call 9-1-1
Calling 9-1-1 will alert the authorities that you need emergency transportation. It will also dispatch police to the area so that they can compile a police report.Get Medical Care
If you or any other party are injured, seek out medical care. Do not deny any recommended medical attention, as this can affect the outcome of your case later on.
Document Everything
Take pictures of the scene of the accident, as well as any property damage and physical injuries. These can be used as evidence later on. If any bystanders witnessed the accident, ask for their names and contact information.
Say Very Little
After the accident, it is important to say as little as possible. Although it can be tempting, do not apologize. Saying "sorry" can be seen as an admission of guilt later on.
Exchange Information
Swap driver's license, car insurance, and contact information with the other driver.
