Following a wreck, it is advisable to contact the police and allow the police to take care of any exchange of information that is necessary, such as names, contact information, insurance carriers, and the like. A lot of times, after someone has been in a trucking wreck, they are going to have a multitude of emotions, physical pain, and adrenaline running through their body. This person is not necessarily in an appropriate state to evaluate what just happened and to assess who did what wrong or right.
For that reason, it is important not to make broad statements, such as admitting fault for a wreck. The incident needs to be evaluated in its proper context, without any emotion and when someone is in a full and appropriate state of mind to evaluate what happened.
