With 6,950 courier and local delivery businesses operating in Oregon, delivery trucks are a common sight on our roads. While they provide valuable services, accidents involving these trucks can be complex. Knowing what to do after such an accident can protect your rights and maximize your chance of receiving compensation.
If possible, move your vehicle out of traffic and turn on your flashers. Immediate medical care is crucial, even if you feel fine. Delayed symptoms from injuries like whiplash or concussions can appear later. Report the accident, especially if there are injuries or significant property damage. Take photos, videos, and collect information from the truck driver and any witnesses. Determining liability can be challenging. The delivery company, the truck driver, or another party may be responsible.
Consulting an experienced Oregon truck accident lawyer is essential. At Johnston Personal Injury Law Firm, we rigorously investigate every case, ensuring your rights are protected.
