• Seek medical attention: One of the first things you should do after being involved in a truck accident is to get medical attention. Whether you feel like you’re obviously hurt or not, it’s crucial you get looked at by a medical professional.
  • Report the accident: Another important step to take is reporting the accident. A police report will document exactly what happened to cause the crash and be a crucial piece of evidence.
  • Call an attorney: Once you’ve received medical care and have documented the accident, it’s time to call a lawyer. Overloaded trucks, equipment failure, and driver error can all result in an accident — and if another party was at fault, it can be beneficial for you to seek compensation.
