If you were involved in a Michigan truck accident, do you know what to do?

The following checklist can help you take the necessary steps to protect your legal rights in case of a Michigan truck accident.

 

Stay Calm After the Michigan Truck Accident:

Stop to protect your passengers and car. Call an ambulance for any injured party, if necessary. Set flares if you carry them, and do not leave the scene of the Michigan truck accident.

 

Exchange Documents After the Michigan Truck Accident:

Exchange only your license, registration and motor vehicle identification card with the other drivers. Do not discuss the Michigan truck accident with anyone other than the police. Do not blame anyone, including yourself.

 

Get Driver Facts After the Michigan Truck Accident:

Take down the name, address, operator's license number, date of birth, sex, state of license, and the phone number of the truck driver and any other drivers involved in the Michigan truck accident.

 

Get Ownership Facts After the Michigan Truck Accident:

Write down the name, address, and the insurance company of the owner of the tractor-trailer, semi truck, or other vehicle involved in the Michigan truck accident, if any driver is not the owner.

 

Get Information About Injured Parties After the Michigan Truck Accident:

Seek information from police about all injured parties, including passengers of vehicles involved in the Michigan truck accident. Take down their names, addresses, dates of birth, sex, and extent of injury.

 

Get Information About Witnesses to the Michigan Truck Accident:

Be sure to write down the names, addresses, and phone numbers of any people who saw the Michigan truck accident but were not involved in it.

 

Note the Damages Caused by the Michigan Truck Accident:

Write down the make, body type, year, and license number of the truck. Also, make note of the damage to the truck involved in the Michigan truck accident.

 

Draw a Diagram of the Michigan Truck Accident Scene:
