Steps to Take After a Truck Accident

If you’ve been hurt in a collision with an 18-wheeler, tractor-trailer, semi-truck or big rig, we recommend that you:

  • Remain calm and immediately call 911 to summon the police and have an ambulance sent to the crash scene
  • Refrain from making any comments about the cause of the collision or who is to blame for your injuries
  • Seek out emergency treatment and follow-up medical attention, heeding the advice of your health care providers

While you’re still at the scene, try to get contact information for any witnesses to the truck collision. And, take photos of the accident scene, your vehicle and all other vehicles involved. If you’re not able, don’t worry – a truck accident attorney can get all of the necessary evidence.

Benefits of Hiring a Truck Accident Attorney

Legal representation isn’t required for an accident claim, but hiring a lawyer is a good idea for several reasons. One major advantage is that an attorney can determine who is liable for your losses – and that may be the at-fault driver, the company they work for, a parts manufacturer or more than one party.

When you work with the dedicated team at William R. Rawlings & Associates, our truck accident attorneys will:

  • Thoroughly investigate the truck collision
  • Preserve and obtain all evidence related to the accident
  • Handle settlement negotiations and litigate the claim
  • Keep you updated on every aspect of your case
  • Work hard to recover the damages you deserve
