View on GoogleWhat to Do After a Truck Accident
Contact a Truck Accident Attorney
Having an attorney who is experienced in representing clients in truck accidents is crucial when it comes to maximizing your compensation.
Preserve All Evidence
Did you take pictures of the truck accident scene? Did you get the names of any witnesses? Preserve this information; it's as easy as emailing the information to yourself. That way, if your phone becomes damaged, this valuable evidence will remain safe.
Go To All Doctor Appointments
You may not feel injured, but the truth is that injuries following a truck crash can sometimes take time to reveal themselves. Meanwhile, your medical records will be extremely valuable to your case. Make all medical appointments a priority, and preserve all related documentation.
Don't Talk to Insurance Adjusters
If you have been in a truck accident, you can expect to be contacted by insurance adjusters working on behalf of the truck driver, their employer, and other entities. Do not speak to these people; their job is to minimize their client's liability, and they are probably aiming to twist your words or take them out of context in order to harm your chances of a just payout. Instead. tell these people to talk to your truck accident lawyer.
If you were involved in a truck accident caused by truck driver's negligence, misconduct on the part of a trucking company, or faulty truck parts, contact our Daytona Beach, DeLand, or Palm Coast, FL, law offices today. The sooner our attorneys start working on your case, the sooner you can collect the compensation to which you are entitled.
Types of Truck Accidents
A rollover crash occurs when a large truck tips over on its side or roof. Excess speed, steep inclines and declines, or top-heavy loads can cause these types of accidents.
A truck needs more time than a car to come to a complete stop. This can result in a rear-end crash with another vehicle when traveling at highway speeds. Wet roads and poor traction can contribute to these kinds of crashes.
A passenger vehicle that rear-ends a semi-truck may slide underneath the back of the trailer, causing an underside crash. Underride collisions can cause fatalities. Underride crashes can also involve passenger vehicles hitting a trailer from the side.
These crashes happen when the sides of two vehicles traveling in the same direction make contact with one another. A variation of this crash is a T-bone crash in which the front of one vehicle strikes the side of another vehicle.
A jackknife accident is when a tractor-trailer's brakes lock up. This can cause the trailer to skid and swing out to a 90-degree angle from the cab. Jackknife collisions can lead to deadly multi-vehicle crashes.
Many collisions with big rigs happen on undivided two-lane highways. A number of these crashes involve head-on collisions. The force generated from these kinds of crashes frequently causes fatalities.
