What you should do after a truck accident
If you or a loved one has been involved in an accident caused by a truck driver, we strongly advise you to take the following steps at the accident scene if you are healthy enough to do so:
- Contact the police and ask them to respond to your truck accident.
- See a doctor. Make sure you have a medical professional examine you as soon as possible. Even if you feel OK, you could have injuries that aren’t showing any symptoms yet.
- Get the truck driver’s name, address, phone number, insurance information, name of the trucking company the driver works for, and the trucking company’s address and phone number.
- Get a copy of the accident report. Contact the law enforcement agency that responded to the scene. Or visit the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) website to order a copy. There will be a fee.
- Do not discuss your truck accident with the truck driver or any insurance company until you have spoken with an experienced trucking lawyer regarding your legal rights.
