Experienced Dallas Truck Accident Lawyers

Truck accidents are among the most serious types of vehicle accidents in terms of injury and damage. They often result in serious to life-threatening injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries. The aftermath of a truck accident often leaves the injured party and their families in a state of uncertainty as they face a long road to recovery. With damaged personal property, such as their vehicle, countless doctor’s appointments, potential surgeries, and physical therapy, and the added stress of the financial strain, the days after the accident are overwhelming. However, injured parties do not have to face this new reality alone.

What To Do After a Truck Accident in Dallas?

After a truck accident, it is important to remain calm and prioritize the well-being of yourself and the others who are involved in the accident. Here are the steps you should take:

  • Call 911: Report the accident and ensure that emergency services respond to the scene. Make sure to mention if there are any serious injuries.
  • Move to Safety: If you are safely able to do so, move your vehicle to the side of the road to avoid further accidents. However, if an individual is seriously injured and unable to move, do not attempt to do so. Instead, turn on your hazards to warn approaching drivers.
  • Document Everything: If you are able to, you will want to gather the following:
    • Contact information of the other driver involved
      • Name
      • Address
      • Contact number
      • License plate number
      • Make and model of the truck
      • Insurance information
      • Name of the company they work for
    • Speak with Witnesses
      • Name
      • Address
      • Contact Number
    • Talk With the Police
      • Provide only the facts of what happened; don’t use words such as “I think,” as doing so can make it seem that you are uncertain as to what happened. Only state things you know are, for a fact, true. Make sure to request a copy of the official police report.
    • Take Photos of the Accident
      • Photos of the damage to both vehicles
      • Any damage to the road or surrounding structures
      • Road conditions
      • The overall scene
      • Any injuries you suffered
  • Seek Medical Attention: Regardless of whether you think you sustained any injuries, you will need to seek medical attention. Some injuries are not readily apparent, as adrenaline can mask the pain and cause symptoms to show up later, such as whiplash. Seeking out medical attention ensures that all injuries are properly cared for and that they are properly documented, along with additional information about proposed treatment options and cost.
