  2. INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Commercial vehicle accidents are often more serious and more complex than standard car crashes. These collisions can involve multiple responsible parties, strict federal regulations, and powerful insurance companies working against you. Whether it’s preserving evidence, avoiding costly mistakes, or knowing when to contact commercial vehicle accident attorneys in Lancaster, PA, the goal is to help you protect yourself and your case from the very beginning. So follow these steps carefully and take control of your recovery.

  3. STEP 1 – CHECK FOR INJURIES AND ENSURE SAFETY Move to a safe location if you’re able. Turn on hazard lights and remain calm. Avoid moving others unless absolutely necessary

  4. STEP 2 – CALL 911 Always report the accident to emergency services. A police report is a vital piece of evidence in commercial vehicle claims. Request an ambulance and police presence.

  5. STEP 3 – GATHER EVIDENCE AT THE SCENE Use your phone to take photos of: Vehicle damage and license plates, Road conditions Note the name of the commercial company and DOT number on the truck. Gather witness names and numbers.

  6. STEP 4 – AVOID MAKING STATEMENTS Refrain from admitting fault or discussing the accident in detail. Do not speak to insurance adjusters without legal advice. Keep all communication factual and minimal.

  7. STEP 5 – SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION Get evaluated even if you feel okay— injuries often appear later. Follow through with all treatments and keep documentation. Medical records validate your injury claim and support your case.

  8. CONCLUSION Taking the right actions after a commercial vehicle accident can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case. From securing your health and safety to protecting crucial evidence and legal rights, each step matters. These situations are rarely simple—and you shouldn’t have to navigate them alone.
