Truck Accident Lawyers

Try to Get the Phone Number, Address, and Email of Any Witnesses to the Incident:

The time of the accident is absolutely the time to collect the names, addresses and contact information of any person that saw what happened at the time of the truck accident.  If you do not record this information, chances are you will never find the people that witnessed the truck accident. You cannot only rely on the police to accomplish this task for you.  You need to be your own advocate in life and at the time of a truck accident. It is also helpful if you can take a picture of the witness at the accident if possible to do so.

Marecki & Medolla Tip:  You need to be your own advocate in life and at the time of a truck accident. Be sure to collect witness information and take plenty of photos with your cell phone.

Try to Take Photos of the Truck Accident With your Cell Phone:

Again, the time of the accident is the MOST IMPORTANT time for you to take photographs with your cell phone.  It’s important to take photographs of every single vehicle involved in the truck accident.

If  You Are Hurt, Seek Medical Help:

The very first thing an insurance company looks at after you have a truck accident is how you chose to handle your medical injuries immediately following the incident.  Therefore, Marecki & Medolla recommends that you consider obtaining a medical examination after an accident even if you don’t feel any symptoms. Our firm has seen dozens of cases where our clients initially believe that they did not have any injuries but injuries have arisen weeks, months or years later.  Therefore, it is absolutely critical that you visit a doctor after a truck accident so that our firm has all the necessary information and facts about you and your injuries to protect you as best we are able to do so. According to Florida’s no-fault law, anyone damaged in a vehicle accident is required to obtain medical attention within 14 days of the accident in order to properly preserve their ability to be protected under a personal injury protection (PIP) insurance policy.

Be Sure to Obtain The Insurance Details of All Other People Involved in the Truck Accident:

With your cell phone, take a picture of it and find a way to record it as this information will be critical to ensuring that Marecki & Medolla has all the necessary parties involved in the vehicle accident.

Don’t Provide Any Information to Insurance Companies: 

We recommend that you do NOT provide any information, recorded statements or records of any kind to an insurance company without first talking to an attorney.

Statements to an insurance adjuster or sign any documents provided by the insurance company or other parties to the accident without first contacting a lawyer.

Additionally, remember that you can always take steps to obtain relevant information and file a police report at a later date if your injuries are extensive, or if you are concerned about the extensive injuries suffered by a loved one who was in the vehicle. If the negligent or reckless driver was uninsured when the accident occurred, our attorneys can explain alternative routes to recovering compensation after you have exhausted your own PIP coverage.
