Truck accident help — what to do first
After a collision with a semi, 18-wheeler, or commercial truck, your next steps affect medical care, evidence, and any future claim. SemiTruckMatch connects you with experienced truck accident counsel at no upfront cost.
1. Get medical care and document injuries
Even if you feel fine, internal injuries and concussions can appear later. Keep ER and follow-up records.
2. Do not give recorded statements to insurers
The motor carrier and their insurer may contact you quickly. Speak with an attorney before signing anything.
3. Preserve truck evidence immediately
ELD logs, dash cameras, maintenance records, and black-box data can be lost or overwritten within days.
4. Get matched with truck-case attorneys
Our network includes firms that handle FMCSA violations, underride crashes, and catastrophic highway injuries.
Frequently asked questions
How fast can I get matched with a truck accident attorney?
Most victims complete our form in under two minutes. We route truck and 18-wheeler cases to counsel experienced with FMCSA rules, black-box data, and commercial carrier insurers.
What evidence matters most after a semi-truck crash?
ELD logs, dash cam footage, maintenance records, driver qualification files, and police reconstruction reports. Carriers often move to limit access within days — early preservation is critical.
