What Not to Do Following a Semi-Truck Accident

In the moments after any crash, a person may not be thinking clearly and could be disoriented. In a collision with a large truck, the impact could be far worse. After all, these accidents often lead to massive destruction. While no one should be expected to be clear-headed and rational following a crash with a big rig, the truth is that many people do damage to their legal claims shortly after being involved in a collision.

One of the most harmful errors a person can make is admitting fault. People are often upset, embarrassed, and emotional after being in a wreck, and in many cases, this can lead to them apologizing for perceived mistakes. However, most people cannot fairly gauge the cause of a crash immediately, and talking too much is a bad idea.

Drivers should remember in the moments after a collision to contact the police. In fact, calling the police is extremely important in order to document what occurred and create an official record of the crash.

People often fail to realize that injuries caused in a crash may not present themselves immediately. Adrenalin is high, and the pain caused by an impact may not present until later. However, waiting too long to get medical care is a bad idea. This can impact a person’s claim. It is best to seek treatment promptly.

Those involved should also contact an attorney right away. Truck companies and insurers will not waste time following a collision. The defense will be forming immediately, and those who fail to seek representation will face disadvantages. Insurance companies will often contact the parties directly. No one should talk to such individuals prior to speaking to an attorney. The insurance company is not looking out for your best interests.
