What You Should Do
First of all, before signing anything or making a statement to an insurance company, it is critical to discuss your situation with an attorney from our firm. We will guide you through this process from beginning to end, making sure you do not sign away any of your rights.
After your truck accident, we will help you to:
- Seek appropriate medical care for everyone involved in the accident, and cooperate fully with the police
- Obtain the names and phone numbers of any witnesses and, if possible, take photographs of the vehicles involved in the accident as well as the accident scene
- Gather all of your important insurance information such as policy documents, declaration sheets, accident information and medical bills
- Identify all insurance that is available to cover your car damage. It may be to your advantage to present the claim to your own insurance company rather than the other driver's insurance company.
- We cannot stress the importance of this enough: do not to sign anything for the insurance company involving your injury claim or give them any recorded statements about the accident until you have had a chance to see the accident report and speak with a lawyer
- Report your accident to your insurance company. This is usually required by the police.
