WHAT TO DO AFTER A TRUCK ACCIDENT

If you’ve suffered a truck accident in Rochester, NY, we suggest that you follow the acronym A.C.T.S.M.A.R.T.

  • Assess Injuries. If you or others may be seriously injured or hurt call 9-1-1 immediately and wait for medical assistance.
  • Contact Police for a Police Report. Insurance companies often require a police report when processing a claim.
  • Take Pictures and Videos of the Scene and any Visible Injuries.
  • Swap Insurance Information with the Other Drivers.
  • Make an Accurate Report. Write down the full names and contact information of those involved, including any potential witnesses.

WHAT FACTORS AFFECT HOW MUCH I MAY RECOVER IN A TRUCK ACCIDENT CASE?

There are many factors that affect how much you may recover in your truck accident case. As experienced truck accident attorneys it is our job to evaluate the factors and guide you through the process to fight for a fair settlement. Common factors that affect the value of a case include:

  • Severity of Injuries. Did you suffer a traumatic brain injury, a broken bone, or injure your neck or back in a way that may require surgery? Generally, the more severe the injury, the higher the potential settlement value.
  • Fault (Liability). Is it certain who caused the accident? Is it clear that any injuries sustained are as a result of the truck accident? The stronger the evidence that (1) the truck accident was caused by the defendant (i.e., a police report or witness statement) and (2) that the injuries sustained were a result of the accident (i.e., medical records), the higher the potential settlement value. You can strengthen your case by following the A.C.T.S.M.A.R.T. steps we’ve outlined above.
