18-Wheeler Accident FAQs

​

What should I do after a truck crash?

Get medical attention and report the crash. If it is safe, photograph the scene, vehicle damage, and identifying information on the truck and trailer. Keep witness contacts, the police report number, and your treatment records.

​

Who may be responsible for the crash?

An investigation can examine the driver’s conduct, the trucking company’s practices, vehicle maintenance, and how cargo was loaded. Which people or companies may be responsible depends on the evidence and the law that applies.

​

What evidence should be preserved?

Keep original photos, dashcam footage, messages, and damaged items. Driver logs, electronic data, inspection records, and company documents may also matter. Contact an attorney promptly about requesting preservation of evidence held by others.

​

What should I bring to a consultation?

Bring the crash report or report number, photos, insurance correspondence, medical bills, and details about missed work. Include the truck company’s name or identifying numbers if available. You can contact us while records are still being gathered.
