Nationwide accident support
Commercial-vehicle crashes can be more complex
The company name on the truck, DOT information, trailer markings, driver details and police report can help identify who was involved. Some records are controlled by companies rather than the injured person, which makes early fact organization useful.
Initial support in English, Portuguese and Spanish

Practical next steps
What to organize after a truck crash
Do not attempt to investigate a trucking company yourself. Preserve the information already available and let qualified professionals determine what additional records may be relevant.
Record carrier and vehicle information
Keep photos showing company names, DOT or unit numbers, trailer markings and license plates when those photos are already available.
Keep official and insurance records
Save police-report information, driver details, insurance communications and towing or repair information.
Document injuries and vehicle damage
Keep medical records, photos of damage and information about missed work or activity restrictions.
