How Can I Protect My Legal Rights After an Accident Involving an 18-Wheeler?
In the attached video, Luke Dow explains the critical steps you should take to protect your legal rights after an accident involving an 18-wheeler. Accidents with large commercial trucks can lead to severe injuries, and taking the right actions immediately after the incident is crucial for building a strong case and ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve.
The first step after an 18-wheeler accident is to call the police and document as much information as possible at the scene. Make sure to obtain the name, license number, and contact details of the truck driver, as well as their license plate number. Additionally, talking to witnesses and collecting their contact information can provide valuable statements that support your case. Witness testimony can play a pivotal role in determining fault, especially in complex trucking accidents.
In some cases, an accident reconstruction expert may be necessary to establish how the 18-wheeler caused the crash. These experts can review evidence, including photos, witness statements, and traffic reports, to determine liability and strengthen your claim.
