What to Do After a Texas Truck Accident
Truck drivers are well trained professionals. They undergo extensive training to become qualified drivers. The job is challenging, requiring hours of concentration on the road. Even with all that training, not everything that happens on the road is in a truck driver’s hands. Regardless of whether you have a perfect driver record, are a defensive driver, or follow every single safety regulation, you may still find yourself in an accident at some point in your career just through sheer law of averages—driving hundreds of miles daily almost guarantees it.
- Get to safety / medical attention in emergency situations.
- Document the scene of the accident with photographs / write down your side of it.
- Exchange contact information and insurance information with over driver(s).
- Get information from possible witnesses.
- Never admit fault or apologize for the accident.
- Report it to your trucking company in a timely manner.
- Speak to a Houston truck accident lawyer about your case.
