O'Connor Law

If you have been involved in an accident with a tractor-trailer truck, there are a number of things you should do to protect your rights. First, you should obtain the following information:

· Information about the truck driver, including name, license number, insurance information, and contact information for the driver and the trucking company
· Truck information, including names and license plate numbers on the cab and trailer
· A copy of the police report
· Names and information for any witnesses
· Condition of truck

Once you have gotten that information, you should get an examination by a medical doctor, even if you feel fine. In addition, you should try to take photos and/or measurements of:

· Skid marks (if present)
· The truck
· The scene of the accident
· The condition of your vehicle

Then make sure you contact an experienced truck accident lawyer. You can guarantee that the trucking company has a stable of lawyers chomping at the bit to minimize your claim. You need someone equally eager to protect your rights. If you have been injured in an accident with a tractor-trailer, contact the experienced truck accident lawyers at the law firm of Michael J.
