Dump Truck Accidents

Dump trucks are large vehicles used for transporting material like gravel, sand, or demolition waste for construction. The trucks themselves are huge and heavy and when carrying a load, the weight of the vehicle increases significantly. Dump trucks carry a lot of momentum, making the distance required to stop much longer than a regular vehicle. Combined with poor visibility, you have an unwieldy vehicle, which when improperly operated, can cause devastating accidents.

Preparing Your Case After A Dump Truck Accident

If you’ve been in a collision with a dump truck, it’s important to get the following details from the other party:

  • Driver’s name and phone number
  • Name and contact information for driver’s company, including address
  • Department of Transportation number (usually found on either side of the truck’s door) and license plate
  • Insurance information

You’ll also want to collect any evidence to support your case. Look for any witnesses who saw the collision occur and get their contact information. They may be an important part of your case down the road. Also be sure to document photographic evidence of any damage, including any damage or marks on the road or to signage.
