After a crash involving a company or delivery vehicle, it’s critical to take the right steps from day one. Large corporations and their insurers move quickly to limit their exposure—you should move just as fast to protect yourself.
1. Get Immediate Medical Care
Even if you feel fine, get checked. Some injuries appear later, and prompt medical documentation strengthens your claim.
2. Don’t Speak to the Company’s Insurance Adjuster Alone
Their goal is to protect their company—not you. Politely decline recorded statements until you’ve spoken with your attorney.
3. Preserve All Evidence
Keep copies of your police report, photos, and medical bills. If possible, note the company name and any vehicle or trailer identification numbers.
4. Follow Medical Advice
Attend every appointment and follow your treatment plan. Missed visits can hurt both your recovery and your case.
5. Hire an Experienced Personal Injury Lawyer
A lawyer familiar with commercial accident litigation can:
- Send preservation letters to prevent evidence destruction
- Identify all liable parties and insurance coverages
- Handle communication with corporate lawyers and adjusters
- Negotiate or litigate for full compensation
You don’t have to take on a trucking or delivery company by yourself.
