The Florida Highway Patrol reported an injured driver in a truck accident, which occurred near St. Lucie County.
The accident happened when a pair of semi-trucks collided with each other. It appears that they were transporting fruits and other foods when the collision occurred.
While the accident was not a serious one, there are thousands that happen every year that are. When an accident happens, it’s important to be prepared and ready to take action.
The First Step is Fetterman. The most important step is having someone in your corner who is experienced in dealing with these types of accidents and knows how to get you the justice you deserve.
Fetterman & Associates have been fighting for accident victims for many years with many success stories to tell.
If you are in an accident, it is important to acquire as much evidence as you can to prove that you were not at fault. This can often be difficult because accidents usually happen so suddenly and most victims are dealing with the initial shock.
But try to take notes, take pictures of the accident scene as soon as you are able, and remain as calm as possible.
Don’t Be Afraid to Ask for Help. If you are injured in the accident and you are unable to perform these tasks, then ask a family or friend or anyone accompanying you in the accident to help you.
They should start by getting the names and contact details of any witnesses who saw the accident, and use a camera or video to take pictures as well.
It is also important to get any relevant information from the police attending the scene, as they will need to supply you with a full accident report later on.
Because trucking companies are often surrounded with many legal experts and attorneys, it can be difficult to successfully bring a claim against these companies. This is where experience and knowledge counts.
A competent accident attorney can assess your case and help you file a court claim for driver’s negligence if you were hurt by the actions of a trucker. So don’t wait to seek legal help if you find yourself in this situation.
