Accident Recovery Team

Semi-truck wrecks wreak havoc on the lives of their victims. Almost half a million accidents occur each year involving 18-wheelers. These wrecks are often more destructive than the average accident. Heavy trucks and trailers travel at accelerated speeds, creating high impact crashes. This leads to devastating injuries and fatalities.

In a Semi-Truck Wreck: What Now?

It’s important to follow the correct steps after you’ve been in a semi-truck accident. Detailed information can be found on our “After an Accident” page, but here is a quick outline.

  1. Call the Police: Even if the accident seems minor, you need the case number provided by local police. 
  2. Seek Medical Attention: While you may want to wait a few days and see how you feel, don’t let too much time go by to see a doctor.
  3. Document Everything: Take pictures and videos of the scene. 
  4. Notify Auto Insurance: Your insurance company may recommend a Direct Repair Facility to repair your car. You may want to shop around instead.
  5. Talk to an Attorney: The Accident Recovery Team has represented many clients injured by semi-trucks. With experience on our side, we’re here to help you recover after an accident.

Documentation and Representation is Key

Professional semi-truck drivers are required to meet certain qualifications and follow safety protocols. By law, there are limits on the amount of time and miles truck drivers can travel in a 24-hour period. They are required to rest and record their day’s drive. After an accident with a large truck or semi, documentation is key. Much of this documentation is recorded digitally and accessing those records is an important part of the discovery process.
