Steps to Take After a Florida Semi-Truck Collision

After any 18-wheeler accident or another truck crash, the trucking company will usually dispatch its own investigators or representatives to the scene right away. The company’s goal is to gather as much evidence as possible to protect itself and its driver from any lawsuits.

You can also take steps to protect your rights and preserve evidence that promotes your claim. Here are a few steps that you and Attorney Warnock can take to build a strong case:

  • Take photos of the accident scene, the vehicles, any injuries, or any other evidence
  • Get the driver’s name, commercial driver’s license number, and insurance information
  • Measure the length of any skid marks on the road
  • Write down the names and numbers of any witnesses to the incident
  • Write down the Department of Transportation (DOT) license number for both the truck’s cab and trailer
  • Request a copy of the police report
  • Contact a lawyer as soon as possible to help you protect other evidence such as the truck’s black box data
  • Have a physician skilled in motor vehicle accidents examine you for hidden injuries

Liability Claims in Truck Accident Cases

One key aspect that must be handled immediately is determining who the responsible party or parties are in your case.

Mr. Warnock will listen to your story and investigate your accident before filing claims in court against:

  • The truck driver: Often, interstate accidents are a result of truck driver negligence. Examples of negligence include driving while fatigued, drunk, or under the influence of drugs.
  • The trucking company: Claims against the company can stem from negligent hiring or negligent training to improper loading of cargo or overloading the trailer.
  • The maintenance crew: If your accident stemmed from a defective truck part or improper maintenance, the firm can pursue claims against the last known maintenance company.

As a Daytona Beach truck accident lawyer with over 30 years of experience, Mr. Warnock is skilled in negotiation with insurance companies. He also has the trial skills to litigate motor vehicle accident cases, if litigation is in his clients’ best interests.
