What To Do After A Truck Accident
If you or a loved one was involved in a truck accident recently, you need to take action right away to protect your right to recovery and compensation. A crash can drastically change your life immediately afterward and in the future, so it is important to know what to do after a truck accident so you can mitigate the damage and maximize your compensation.
Follow These Steps:
Take pictures at the scene if possible. If you or someone in the vehicle is able to take a few photos with a cellphone, this can provide critical information when recounting both the cause of and the damage suffered in a truck accident. However, if you and your occupants are injured, dial 911 immediately for emergency medical services.
