You MUST file an accident report when involved in truck accidents; even if you think there is little or no physical damage to you or your vehicle. This required by law and it can be used as an essential piece of evidence later on if your case goes to court.
When it comes to a truck accident, your health and safety should be your highest priority. Some injuries won’t manifest symptoms until months later, so you want to make sure you get the opinion of one or more medical professionals.
Additionally, if you refuse medical attention, it will most likely end up being used against you in court.
This is a step you don’t want to skip as it can also end up affecting the outcome of your case. *
*Keep in mind: you may end up talking with the other party’s insurance company. Try to say as little as possible, state the facts but try not to elaborate on details. You also don’t want to say too much at the scene of the accident. It’s best to keep conversations to a minimum.
