Truck Accidents

Personal Injury Attorneys

The sheer size and force of a commercial truck makes any motor vehicle accident serious resulting in serious personal injuries.

No matter the size of the collision, the physical and emotional toll can be enormous. Every accident is unique and every accident is very personal, yet the immediate steps involved after a bus accident are straightforward.

First, address physical needs. An ambulance may be required to take you to the closest emergency room for evaluation and treatment. Injuries such as broken bones, brain injuries, concussions and lacerations sustained in a truck accident require immediate attention. Once discharged you may be referred to your personal physician for follow-up care.

The force of a truck accident often renders lasting pain that can take the body a few days to absorb. Victims of truck accidents report more pain a few days post accident. Bruising, tenderness, headaches, nausea and irritability are common symptoms. These should all be treated by licensed and experienced medical professionals.

Notify family and friends of your situation and confirm that you are okay. Sharing your trauma often eases your pain and relieves the worry from loved ones.

Second, confirm liability. Police are often called to the scene of serious accidents and will complete a report with the details of the accident. Witnesses can be helpful in confirming what they saw.
