What to Do After a Truck Accident
The main steps to remember after a truck accident are:
- Stop.
- Share license, registration, and insurance information with the other driver(s).
- Move out of harm’s way.
- Report the accident to the police.
- Seek medical help immediately for injuries.
- Report the accident to your insurance company, but refuse to give them any extra information.
- Fill out an SR 1 form at the DMV. Failure to do so may result in suspension of your license, depending on the circumstances.
When to Call a Truck Accident Attorney
You should look into calling a lawyer for up to two years after the accident if you sustained injuries that require(d) medical treatment, a long period of time off of work, or other serious consequences. It’s also good to consider a lawyer if insurance companies are trying to place the blame on you.
