If you are involved in a truck accident in Tennessee, and you are able to make a call, it is essential that you call 9-1-1 and report the accident. It is important to stay at the scene and be courteous and polite with the investigating police officer. If you or your family is able, take pictures with your phone of the property damage, as well as a traffic scene.
Also, get the names of the police officers, the truck driver, and the names of their trucking company and insurance company. If you’re injured, you should go to the hospital and get appropriate care. You should try to write the names of every doctor who sees you. If you have to be hospitalized, make sure that you report the accident to your insurance company.
Do not give a statement to the other person’s insurance company or representative. As soon as possible, it is important that you call a law firm that has the experience of handling truck accident cases. Evidence may disappear. Witnesses may forget what they saw. So, it is crucial to call a law firm that handles truck cases and has a strong reputation.
