What to Bring to Your Truck Accident Consultation
You do not need anything to start — even a clear description is enough. But if you have these, they make a first meeting more productive.
The crash report
The police report or its number, and any information exchanged at the scene.
Photos and video
Any images of the scene, the truck, both vehicles, and your injuries.
The truck and company info
Anything you gathered identifying the truck, the company, the USDOT number, and insurance.
Insurance information
Your own policy details, plus any insurance information you have for the truck or driver.
Medical records and losses
Anything from treatment so far, a list of providers, and a note of missed work or out-of-pocket costs.
A simple timeline
A short account of what happened and what you have done since.
The deadlines and rules depend on your state
The steps above apply wherever you were hurt. Filing deadlines, fault rules, and limits on damages differ by state — pick yours for what applies to truck accidents.
