Steps to Take After a Truck Crash
Time matters. Protect yourself and your right to compensation.
Truck crashes can turn your life upside down, and acting quickly makes all the difference. Understanding what to do next helps you protect your health, your rights, and your chance at fair compensation.
STEP 1. Get Medical Care
See a doctor right away—even if you feel fine. Some injuries may take hours or days to appear, and having medical records can protect your health and support your claim.
STEP 2. Take Pictures
Truck crashes usually involve multiple different companies, shippers, and drivers. Taking immediate pictures at the scene showing names, insignias, or logos on the truck as well as DOT numbers or other identifying information allows us to identify everyone who may be at fault.
STEP 3. Call a Truck Crash Lawyer
The sooner you contact a lawyer, the better, as evidence can be harder to track down over time. We’ll handle the insurance companies and protect your rights—at no cost unless we win on your behalf.
STEP 4. Notify Your Insurance Company
Report the accident but keep it brief. Share only the basic facts (who, where, when). Don’t give any statement without talking to an attorney first.
STEP 5. Don’t Settle Too Soon
Insurance companies often push for quick, low payouts. Always check with your lawyer before accepting any settlement.

Truck Crash FAQs
1. How Soon After an Accident Should I Contact a Truck Crash Lawyer?
You should contact a truck crash lawyer as soon as possible after the accident. Trucking companies are required to keep records such as driver logs and maintenance reports for only a limited time, and once those deadlines pass, key evidence can be destroyed. Acting quickly allows your attorney to preserve this information and build a stronger case.
Most major trucking companies also send rapid response teams to the scene immediately to protect their interests. Having a lawyer on your side right away helps level the playing field and prevents mistakes that could hurt your claim.
2. What Parties Be Liable for Truck Crashes?
Several parties may be held liable for a truck crash, including the driver, the trucking company, the cargo loading company, repair or maintenance providers, trailer owners, warehouses, and even truck or parts manufacturers. In many cases, multiple entities share responsibility, so a thorough investigation is essential to identify everyone involved.
3. What if I Was Partially at Fault for the Truck Crash?
In most states, you can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault. The key is showing that the other parties were more responsible for the crash than you were. A truck accident lawyer can explain how your state’s laws apply and help determine whether you have a strong case.
4. Am I Responsible for Telling the Truck Driver’s Insurance Company About the Crash?
No. Your attorney will handle that. If you contact the driver’s insurance company or file a claim yourself, an insurance adjuster could twist your words to make it sound like you’re admitting responsibility for the crash. When you work with a truck crash law firm, your attorney will handle all insurance communications on your behalf.
