How to Preserve Your Atlanta Commercial Vehicle Claim (Part A)
How you handle the events immediately following your Atlanta trucking accident can have a considerable impact on how your resultant claim will unfold, and your claim directly determines the value of the Atlanta accident compensation that you receive for your damages and injuries.
At the Scene of the Atlanta Trucking Accident
While at the scene of the accident, don’t leave until you have spoken with the police or other responding officials. Don’t volunteer information, but be cooperative and answer the questions that are asked of you without giving the police officer any reason to doubt that you are blameless in the crash. If possible, use a camera or camera-phone to take photos of the accident scene, including skid marks on the ground, the truck, your vehicle, and the surroundings.
You should also collect information from the truck driver, including:
their driver’s license number;
operator number;
the truck company’s information;
the truck’s insurance carrier policy number; and
a contact number.
If you’re able to get contact information from any witnesses who saw the accident, your semi accident lawyer may need that information as well.
After Leaving the Scene of the Crash
Once you’ve left the scene of the accident, you should immediately seek medical treatment. Regardless of whether or not you feel seriously injured, seeing your doctor or being checked at the hospital will create a medical record of your injuries and may turn up injuries you didn’t know you had, such as:
a concussion;
spinal cord trauma; and
internal bleeding.
Follow all of your doctor’s orders and make all necessary appointments if you are referred to a specialist for further evaluation or treatment.
If you or someone you care about has been seriously hurt in a trucking accident, a semi accident lawyer will need to fight for you to recover the Atlanta accident compensation you’re owed for your injuries.
