Protecting Your Rights

In the aftermath of a truck accident, the most important thing you can do is recover your health. For this reason, it’s important to obtain medical care and to follow your doctor’s treatment recommendations and plan. If you don’t have health insurance, our lawyers can advise you about other options, such as medical professionals who will provide your care in exchange for a lien on your personal injury lawsuit recovery.

You or someone on your behalf should collect and preserve evidence of liability, including:

• Photographs of the accident scene
• The damaged vehicles, which may contain evidence of mechanical defects
• The driver’s logbook
• The driver’s food and fuel receipts
• The driver’s motor vehicle record
• The driver’s drug test results
• Maintenance records of the truck and trailer
• Sources of insurance coverage (the truck and trailer may be insured separately)
• The truck GPS unit (if equipped)
