How to Respond Following a Collision
1. Remain at the scene: Leaving the area of an accident can be considered a hit and run by law enforcement or result in flawed evidence at the scene. If it is safe for other drivers, leave your vehicle where it is and get yourself to a safe place on the side of the road.
2. Call 9-1-1 immediately: Injures from a truck accident can be severe or even result in a fatality. Your safety and health should be the top concern. Call an ambulance so you can receive any necessary medical attention. Police will be dispatched as well and will provide an official report of what happened.
3. Check the other driver and pedestrians: Even if another party caused the accident, ensuring they are safe is important too. We want to make sure all parties are still thriving. Check surroundings to confirm a pedestrian was not involved in the accident.
