What Else Should I Do at the Scene of a Truck Accident?

Other steps you should take at the crash scene include:

• Check on everyone involved in the accident to see if anyone requires immediate medical attention.
• Move your vehicle out of the path of traffic if possible, or walk to the side of the road if your car has been disabled.
• Get the truck driver’s employer and insurance information and insurance information from any other drivers involved in the crash.
• Take photos and videos of the accident scene, including vehicle damage, license plates, visible injuries you suffered, skid marks on the road, and traffic controls at the scene.
• Talk to eyewitnesses to obtain a brief statement of what they saw and their contact information.
