What to Do if You’ve Been in a Semi-Truck Accident
Being involved in a semi-truck accident can be a devastating experience, often resulting in serious injuries, property damage, and emotional distress. These accidents are far more severe than typical car crashes due to the sheer size and weight of commercial trucks. The aftermath can leave victims facing mounting medical bills, lost wages, and long-term recovery.
Hiring an experienced semi truck accident attorney can help ease the financial and legal burden, ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve.
Those first hours after an accident are critical. Attorney Hilda Zamora and The Zamora Law Boutique team are here to fight for you.
What to Do if You’ve Been in a Semi-Truck Accident
in California
1. Seek Medical Attention Immediately
Your health comes first. Even if you don’t feel pain right away, some injuries—such as whiplash or internal bleeding—may not be immediately apparent. Get checked by a doctor as soon as possible.
2. Call 911 and Report the Accident
Request police assistance and ensure an official report is filed. This documentation will be essential for your case.
3. Gather Evidence at the Scene
If you are able, photograph the accident scene, damage to all vehicles, skid marks, and road conditions. Get contact information from the truck driver, trucking company, and any witnesses. Document truck details, including license plates and company names.
4. Do Not Admit Fault.
Even if you feel partially responsible, do not apologize or admit fault. Liability in semi-truck accidents can be complex and involve multiple parties.
