After any truck accidents or any vehicle accident for that matter, it is a good idea to try to remain as calm as you can. Decisions that are made following a truck accident may affect your health and your potential legal case, so be sure to contact your family or your friends for help after you call 911 and you secure the accident evidence. It is important to get immediate medical attention as many injuries, such as brain injuries, whiplash injuries, and spinal injuries, do not show immediate symptoms but for the best medical recovery, they do need quick treatment. Be sure to also document and retain as much evidence from the trucking and car accident scene as possible including taking your own pictures, writing your own records and protecting your vehicle that was involved in the crash. Our trained staff will want to investigate the vehicle for signs of defect or evidence to help with the case so be sure it is not tampered with.
