Hit By A Whole Foods Truck*

Trucks are larger than traditional passenger vehicles. When they are loaded with merchandise for the grocery stores, they become even heavier.

When a car is hit by a delivery truck, the damage can be very severe, and injuries can be serious, impacting the crash victim for years to come.

Accident victims can file a personal injury claim to recoup compensation for the damages that were suffered because of being hit by a delivery truck.

What To Do After Being Hit By A Truck

Stay on the accident scene after being hit by a truck. If injuries are serious, call an ambulance. If they are not life-threatening, you can be transported to the doctor’s office or emergency room by private vehicle.

Always seek immediate medical attention because failing to do so could negatively impact your personal injury claim. Stay on the accident scene and talk to the police officer when he or she arrives. If possible, get photos of the crash scene and photos of the damages that resulted.

Make sure any witnesses give statements and be sure to get their names and contact details. Different regulations come into play when a commercial vehicle is involved, so this could impact the investigation as well as determining fault for the crash.
