What To Do Following An Incident Involving a Semi-Truck

Insist that a report be filed with the police, sheriff or state highway patrol.
  • Obtain names, addresses and telephone numbers of all witnesses;
  • Photograph the scene where the injury occurred and any visible injuries (cuts, bruises). Professional photographs are generally preferable, but not essential;
  • Talk to no one about the incident or injuries other than your personal physician or auto accident lawyer. Sign nothing without consulting a n auto accident lawyer. Truthful statements you make in an attempt to be helpful can easily be misinte>rpreted and turned against you;
  • Tell your personal physician or surgeon exactly how the injury occurred and describe all symptoms and complaints. Be sure to report memory problems, confusion or disorientation, however minor these things may seem at the time. Begin keeping a diary of how the injury or death affects your life and family. In particular, write down all medical related visits and everything that causes physical pain, frustration or worry; and
  • Obtain and keep receipts for all expenses relating to the incident.

Recoverable Damages


Damages which a victim and the victim's family may be entitled to recover include:
  • hospital and medical expenses;
  • past lost earnings;
  • future lost earnings; and
  • past permanent physical disability (i.e. limp, scars, loss of a limb, emotional distress, depression, anxiety grief, emotional pain from the death of a loved one, damage or destruction of property, physical pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, etc. .).
    • In Georgia, if you are injured by the negligence of a motor carrier the motor carrier's insurance company will be directly liable.
