Sometimes what you do not say or do can be important to your case. At the accident scene, provide the police with the information they request. Until you speak to a local law firm, avoid saying anything else.
In particular:
1. Do not argue with the truck driver or verbally place or accept any degree of blame. Speak only to the police officer at the scene.
2. Do not speak to any insurance representative until you speak to your attorney. They may handle all contact for you, including with your own insurer, if necessary.
3. Do not put any recollections, thoughts, or comments in any fixed form. This includes sending or responding to emails and signing anything your lawyer has not reviewed.
