What Should I Do After a Truck Accident in Cleveland, Ohio?
Truck accidents are undeniably traumatic, often leaving individuals feeling overwhelmed, emotionally paralyzed, and engulfed in grief. While it's essential to acknowledge and process these emotions, it's equally important to be aware of the critical do’s and don’ts following a truck accident.
Adhering to these guidelines can significantly impact your long-term well-being and ensure that you and your loved ones are set up for the best outcomes for your recovery and truck crash lawsuit.
Immediate Actions for Safety and Legal Preparation
In the immediate aftermath, prioritize your safety. Call the police and seek medical attention, even if your injuries seem minor. Remember, some injuries may not be immediately apparent but could have long-term consequences. Prompt medical attention is not only vital for your health but also crucial in documenting your injuries for any subsequent legal action.
Collecting Essential Evidence
If you're able to do so safely, gather evidence at the accident scene. This includes taking photos or videos of the crash site, the vehicles involved, and any visible injuries. Also, try to obtain contact information from any witnesses. This evidence is invaluable for your Cleveland truck crash attorney when building your case.
Urgency in Seeking Legal Advice
Time is of the essence, the insurance companies and defense attorneys have likely had their representatives at the scene of the crash, frequently before the vehicles are even towed from the scene. They likely have started their defense immediately. It is important for our team of experts to get to the scene of the crash right away. So don’t wait to hire an attorney. Our team will collect drone footage, crash measurements, and review physical evidence that may not be on scene weeks or months following the crash. Additionally, the truck that caused the crash needs to be inspected and the black box, electronic, data downloaded before the truck is repaired and put back into service. So, please contact us immediately. Our initial consultation is free!
In Ohio, in most truck crash cases, victims and their families have a two-year time limit (called the statute of limitations) to file their truck accident claim. While two years may seem like a long time, it is recommended to contact and find a skilled Cleveland truck accident lawyer as soon as possible to represent your case.
If you wait, crucial physical evidence and electronic data may no longer be available. We will immediately issue a letter of preservation preserving the crash truck, the electronic data, and the truck driver’s cell phone. This information may not be available later.
Be on high alert. Insurance companies and defense attorneys will not wait two years to contact truck crash victims. Often, they will contact families soon after an accident, employing tactics that are intended to avoid a lawsuit and minimize the payout on your potential claim. Be very wary of talking with representatives from the truck company, insurance companies, and their attorneys.
Our Cleveland truck accident attorneys are adept at fighting these predatory tactics and navigating the complexities of truck accident cases. We are committed to advocating for you.
Remember, trucking companies will have the best lawyers fighting for them. You deserve the same level of skill and expertise fighting for you.
Take the first step on your path to justice.
The Law Firm for Truck Safety’s truck accident attorneys are here to help you find answers, pursue justice, and receive the compensation you deserve.

Why Do I Need a Cleveland Truck Accident Attorney?
When deciding whether to work with a Cleveland law firm after your truck accident, the answer should always be yes. At the very least, you should take advantage of a free consultation to talk through your accident for these reasons.
Maximum Compensation
Our Cleveland truck crash lawyers will assess the evidence and the full extent of your damages after your accident. If we believe you have a case and you continue working with our team, our lawyers will pursue the maximum compensation for all that was taken from you.
This may include medical bills from common truck accident injuries, lost wages, property damage, plus any emotional distress or mental suffering you’ve experienced.
Additionally, if you lost a loved one due to an accident with a semi-truck, you may be eligible to file a wrongful death lawsuit.
In addition to obtaining compensation for you, we will work hard to find out why this crash happened and try to have the truck driver and truck company correct their unsafe behavior to make sure it doesn’t happen again to someone else.
