Truck accident help — what to do first
After a collision with a semi, 18-wheeler, or commercial truck, your next steps affect medical care, evidence, and any future claim. SemiTruckMatch connects you with experienced truck accident counsel at no upfront cost.
1. Get medical care and document injuries
Even if you feel fine, internal injuries and concussions can appear later. Keep ER and follow-up records.
2. Do not give recorded statements to insurers
The motor carrier and their insurer may contact you quickly. Speak with an attorney before signing anything.
3. Preserve truck evidence immediately
ELD logs, dash cameras, maintenance records, and black-box data can be lost or overwritten within days.
4. Get matched with truck-case attorneys
Our network includes firms that handle FMCSA violations, underride crashes, and catastrophic highway injuries.
WreckMatch connects accident victims with experienced personal injury attorneys in their state at no upfront cost. We are a legal referral service operated by WreckMatch LLC — not a law firm — and we do not provide legal advice. Submitting this form does not create an attorney-client relationship.
