Follow these tips if possible:

• Make observations at the scene, and do not move debris.
• Take photos with a digital camera or your cell phone.
• Get relevant eyewitness accounts, paying attention to the language and phrases they use, including the words “slammed into,” “plowed,” “speeding,” and more general accounts of the event.
• Take down ALL contact information – other drivers and parties to the truck accident, witnesses, police and emergency personnel, and anyone else on the scene.
• Write down exactly what happened while it is still fresh in your mind.
• Note where you are, the weather, road conditions, traffic level, time of day, and how the accident occurred.
• Contact your insurance company and notify them of the accident.
• Contact an experienced truck accident lawyer for a review of your legal rights, responsibilities, and potential compensation for your case.

A car accident with a large truck is a serious matter and a unique and complex area of personal injury law. It is essential to consult an experienced truck accident lawyer to review your case and advocate for you against the trucking company. Do not attempt to negotiate with the trucking company yourself. Trucking companies are notorious for minimizing claims and will attempt to strong-arm you out of your legal rights and rightful compensation for your injuries.
