If you have just been involved in a truck accident you should first seek any medical attention you may need. Your health, as well as the health and safety of others, should ultimately be your first priority. Your next steps would be to call the police to get the accident documented. Additionally, collect contact information for all parties and witnesses. Also, take time to write down all the events leading up to the accident and the accident while you still have the events fresh in your mind. Then talk with an attorney. Do not fight the insurance companies alone. They will try to get you to make statements that will relieve them of responsibility. Make sure you contact a truck accident attorney that knows the rules and regulations of the trucking industry.
