• Sideswipe (potential to run the other vehicle off of the road)
• Side Impact “T-Bone” truck accidents

Being involved in a truck accident can be stressful. However, there are some steps you can take to help protect your health and your personal injury case.

• Call 911 or the Columbus Police – You want the police to arrive as soon as possible to control traffic, begin an initial investigation, and prepare an accident report.
• Go to the emergency room – You should seek medical attention as soon as possible after a truck accident. It is important to be looked over by a doctor because your truck injuries may not be readily apparent. Concussions and internal bleeding may not be noticeable to you or a friend just after the crash, but a physician will check for these types of injuries. In Columbus, you can visit the Ohio State University Hospital, Mount Carmel, OhioHealth, or a local ER.
• Exchange insurance information – Ask the truck driver for their name, contact information, employer, and insurance information.
• When possible, collect evidence – If you have a phone, take photos and videos of the crash. Try to document the scene from different angles and distances. Also, take note of the surrounding property damage and any marks on the road.
• Call a truck accident law firm – Once you are home or admitted to the hospital, contact Morgan & Morgan.
