I was just hit by an 18 wheeler. What do I need to do?

 

A: If you have been involved in an accident with a truck or 18 wheeler, you should first and foremost, get immediate medical attention.  Other things to do, if possible, are to get the contact information for the truck driver, the name of the trucking company and the trucking company's DOT number (usually on the driver's door).  You should take pictures of the scene, debris on the roadway, the truck and trailer, your car, skid marks, etc.  You should also notify your insurance company.  Because there is a lot of other critical evidence that needs to be preserved, you call an attorney as soon as possible.  Trucking cases are very complex, and there are many issues that must be dealt with.  You should call an attorney who is experienced in handling trucking cases so that your interests can be adequately protected.  For further questions about trucking cases, please see our webpage on 18-Wheeler Wrecks.
