If you were involved in an Indiana semi-truck accident, you can protect your legal rights by: Seeking prompt medical attention and following through on your doctor’s treatment recommendations. Gathering as much information and evidence from the scene of the accident as possible, including contact and insurance information from the driver, photos of the scene, and statements from any eyewitnesses. Establishing a pain journal to keep a daily record of the pain, discomfort, and physical limitations you experience as a result of the accident. Keep track of all documents related to the accident, including your medical bills, vehicle repair invoices, receipts from incidental out-of-pocket expenses, and pay stubs that reflect your reduced income due to missed time at work.
