Very few people walk away from truck accidents unharmed. In most cases, victims suffer injuries that involve a very long recovery. In severe cases, the individual may never fully recover or the injuries may result in death.
Some injuries restrict not only a person's ability to work, but also their basic ability to care for themselves. Such victims may need 24-hour full-time assistance with all of their daily functions.

In most states, you must stop after an accident and report it to the police if it involves property damage, injury, or death. Truck accidents will typically cause at least one of these, so it’s important to report any truck accident immediately after it happens and ask for a copy of the police report.
It's likely that you will need emergency medical treatment after the accident, and this should be your first priority after the crash has been reported. Even if you don’t think you need emergency treatment, you should still see a doctor. They can perform a full examination and alert you to injuries that may be slow to show symptoms.
Similar to the aftermath of a car crash, you’ll need to exchange information with everyone involved in the accident. Make sure you write down the truck driver’s name, contact information, driver’s license number, and insurance information. Also, ask for the name and contact information of the truck driver’s employer.
Witness testimony can greatly help a truck accident claim. If there were witnesses, ask for their names and contact information and possibly even a brief statement of what they saw.
Taking photos can help ensure important evidence is preserved. Take pictures of the truck, particularly the position it was in after the crash and any identifying markings on it, such as the company that leased it. Take photos of your injuries, and once home, document how they have impacted your life.
An insurance adjuster will likely contact you shortly after the accident. It’s important you understand that they are trying to get you to accept at least partial blame for the accident so they can pay out a lower settlement. They may even offer a settlement right away.
