In many cases, it can be hard to determine who is responsible for an accident. Factors such as weather and road conditions can often be large contributing factors.

There are specific ways to determine fault. This is where the expert attorneys at 1-800-TruckWreck expertise is invaluable. Our team specializes in these types of accidents and have vast experience obtaining evidence to help determine liability and hold the responsible driver and tractor truck company accountable for the damage caused by the wreck.

We always recommend calling the police to the scene first.  Not only will they help investigate the wreck, but they will make sure to dispatch medical responders for anyone that may be injured.

Ask witnesses for their contact information as well as medical or police personnel on the scene. These witnesses can provide invaluable information and details to your attorneys.. Similarly, if you can find any closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras it can be very helpful for your case. It’s also vital to capture photos of the scene, the driver’s name, phone number and driver’s license number, Department of Transportation number (usually found on either side of the truck’s door) and insurance information.

Finally, our team of experts can recreate the scene of the wreck with evidence like tire marks on the pavement, which can indicate who was breaking and roughly what speed they were traveling. If you’re able to, always take photos of the scene for this type of evidence. We are even available for you to call us at the scene, if it’s safe to do so. If your adrenaline is running high and you aren’t sure what to do, call us anytime, 24/7 and we can even help make sure that you don’t forget to gather vital information.
