You’re driving through Buffalo, heading home after a long day. Suddenly, a tractor-trailer swerves into your lane. The next thing you remember is the sound of metal twisting and glass shattering. In seconds, your life changes.
Truck accidents are devastating. They can leave victims with serious injuries, emotional trauma, and financial burdens that last for years. At Campbell & Associates, we know how overwhelming those first days can be and we’re here to help you take control again.
- Get Medical Help Immediately
Your health comes first. Even if you feel fine, internal injuries or delayed symptoms are common after a crash. See a doctor as soon as possible and keep all medical documentation. These records will be crucial for your claim.
- Call the Police and Report the Accident
Make sure a police report is filed at the scene. The responding officer’s report provides important details such as vehicle positions, damage, and any citations issued. This document becomes valuable evidence when determining fault.
- Gather What Evidence You Can
If you’re able, take photos or videos of the crash scene, your injuries, and any skid marks or debris. Get contact details for witnesses and the truck driver, including their employer information.
If you cannot gather evidence due to your injuries, don’t worry. The team at Campbell & Associates can step in quickly to preserve and document critical evidence on your behalf.
- Notify Your Insurance Company
Inform your insurance company about the accident, but avoid giving detailed statements until you’ve spoken with an attorney. Insurance adjusters often look for ways to minimize payouts or shift blame.
- Contact a Knowledgeable Truck Accident Attorney
Truck accident cases are different from regular car accidents. They involve complex federal and state laws, multiple liable parties, and corporate insurance companies with extensive resources.
A knowledgeable attorney can take over communications, investigate the crash, and ensure you don’t settle for less than you deserve.
