What Do I Do After a Truck Accident?

Whether you were a driver, passenger, pedestrian, biker or cyclist, if you’ve been injured as a result of a truck accident, you need reliable, trustworthy legal representation to help get you the recoveries you deserve.

Comparatively speaking, truck and tractor trailer accidents tend to cause significantly more damage than traditional car accidents, often with devastating results. And with insurance adjusters ready to make you the lowest possible settlement offer, it can be extremely challenging to get through to the other side and back to a state of normalcy.

See a Physician to Assess Your Injuries

If you’re physically able to, you’ll want to make sure you see a doctor immediately after a truck accident. For many accident victims, injuries do not become apparent right after the incident occurs. That’s because the body naturally releases adrenaline and endorphins after a major impact to help increase energy and lessen pain.

Here are some common injuries you’ll want to get checked out for in order to avoid future ongoing pain:

• Whiplash (soft-tissue injury in the neck muscles)
• Concussions
• Bone fractures
• Muscle strains or sprains
• Psychological or emotional injuries (in more severe accidents)
