What Should I Do If I’m Injured in an Accident Involving a Company Vehicle?
In the attached video, Luke Dow explains what to do if you’re involved in an accident with a company vehicle. Accidents involving a company vehicle can be more complicated than typical car accidents, as it may not just be the driver who is at fault but also the company they work for. Understanding the proper steps to take after such an accident can help protect your rights and strengthen your case.
First and foremost, your health is the priority. Make sure to assess your medical condition and call EMS if needed. Once you’re sure that you’re safe, gather crucial information from the other driver. This includes their name, contact details, and driver’s license number. You’ll also want to note the name of the company for whom the driver works. This information can be pivotal in determining who is ultimately liable for the accident.
Next, document the scene of the accident thoroughly. Speak to any witnesses and get their contact details for potential follow-up. Additionally, take photographs of the vehicles involved, the scene itself, insurance cards, and the company name on the vehicle. These photos and witness statements will be crucial in building a strong case if legal action is needed.
