Key Steps to Follow After a Truck Crash
Of course, the first thing is to ensure personal safety by immediately calling 911 for emergency assistance.
Here are the other important steps you should take to preserve the integrity of your potential case:
1. Do not admit your own fault or blame anyone else.
2. Exchange contact and insurance information with everyone at the scene.
3. Document details of the crash while they’re still fresh in your mind. Write them down on a piece of paper or record them on your smartphone’s voice recording app.
4. Take pictures and video of evidence at the scene.
5. Exercise caution when asked for a statement by the insurance company - either yours or that of the other parties involved. (See below for why this is so important.)
6. If you are injured, seek medical treatment right away. Your medical provider will get you the treatment you need. You’ll also have a documented record of your injuries if you decide to file a personal injury claim.
7. Contact Edgar Snyder & Associates and our truck accident team for a free consultation.
Caution Advised for Trucking Companies
Trucking companies act fast, often sending their lawyers out to the accident scene or directly to your home to collect statements. They may even try to minimize your complaint or talk you out of hiring an attorney. Even worse, they may try to do everything they can to delay your claim, hoping you’ll just get frustrated and give up. That’s why you need Edgar Snyder & Associates. Our truck accident lawyers will fight for you and stand up to aggressive adjusters and companies trying to diminish your claim.
Info To Gather To Help Us Evaluate Your Claim
Our Altoona-based truck accident lawyers will take the lead on gathering most of your important case information. So will the former police officers and other professionals on our investigative team. But before we meet, please try gathering the following information to assist in our evaluation of your claim:
1. The accident report (if you have it)
2. Any notes or information you used to document the accident
3. Your auto insurance policy
4. Your medical or disability insurance policy
5. All correspondence you’ve received from any insurance company
6. Medical bills
7. Any Pictures or video
TYPES OF ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES
With more than 40 years of experience, we know the ins and outs of every type of accident scenario. That being said, no two accidents are exactly alike. Our truck accident attorneys work to uncover every detail to get you the compensation you deserve.
Truck Accidents
Some of the most devastating crashes involve trucks – tractor trailers, 18-wheelers, vans, and other commercial vehicles. Hiring an experienced truck accident lawyer is especially important because most trucking companies "lawyer up," quickly dispatching teams of corporate attorneys to defend them.
Passengers
Many people injured as passengers don't want to file a legal claim because they incorrectly believe they would negatively impact their friend or loved one who was behind the wheel. In realty, you’re making a claim against an insurance company and it’s not fair for you to shoulder the burden of those expenses on your own.
Multi-Vehicle Crashes
Collisions happen in a multitude of ways and the truck accident lawyers at Edgar Snyder & Associates handle all types of crashes that cause serious injuries. Different scenarios include: head-on collisions, lane crossovers, rear-end accidents, sideswipes, rollovers, and T-bone accidents, to name a few.
Distracted Driving
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or texting while driving, causes crashes that result in serious and sometimes permanent injuries. Eating in the vehicle, putting on makeup, and fiddling with the radio – anything that takes your eyes off the road falls under distracted driving.
Dangerous Road
Our Altoona truck accident lawyers handle single- and multi-vehicle crashes involving poorly-designed roads and intersections as well as unsafe construction zones. Common causes of crashes include water pooling on roadways that results in hydroplaning crashes, or unexpected ice patches that cause skidding in freezing temperatures.
Other Accident Types
Whether you are injured as a driver, pedestrian, bicyclist or motorcyclist, our experienced Altoona injury attorneys can make sure you get the compensation you deserve. We also help victims of work-related injuries who were either driving or were a passenger while on the job.
Types of Accidents
Our truck accident lawyers know that, at first, you may not realize the full extent of your injuries and required treatment. We need to determine the future medical care you will need to ensure you receive adequate compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Head & Brain Injuries
Head injuries – also called traumatic brain injuries – rank among the most common and serious injuries suffered by truck accident victims. The severity of head injuries ranges from concussions to comas, and can cause long-lasting physical and cognitive (thinking) issues.
Back, Neck & Spinal Cord Injuries
Serious truck accidents often cause whiplash or other neck and back injuries, some of which might not be immediately apparent. Few things are more frightening than a spinal cord injury, which can lead to partial or total paralysis.
Shoulder Injuries
Pain in your shoulder may ultimately require costly surgery and long-term physical therapy. Oftentimes, it's not initially apparent that you will need future surgery that can lead to overwhelming medical bills.
Knee Injuries
A knee injury can affect your entire life, requiring you to use crutches, a cane, walker, or wheelchair to get around. Knee injuries – as well as ankle or other leg injuries – also put you at risk for arthritis in the future.
Wrongful Death
No amount of money will ever make up for the loss of a family member, but it's our job to ensure you get the fair compensation and future stability your family deserves. The complexity of wrongful death cases requires the knowledge of truck accident lawyers who know the laws.
Other Injuries
Truck accidents can cause a multitude of severe and sometimes permanent injuries. Whether you're dealing with broken bones or fractures, or more serious issues such as burns, amputations, or eye injuries, our Altoona truck accident attorneys can help.
