2. Take pictures. If you can, photograph the scene of the truck accident and all the vehicles involved. Take pictures of skid marks, debris and other damage to the scene. Take pictures of the damage to your car and other property and of your injuries.

3. Get names and contact information for everyone involved in the accident and any witnesses.

4. Make sure that a police report is filed. Call the police department and ask for a copy.

5. Hold off on car repairs. Your car damage is a source of evidence for your accident claim. Talk to an attorney before getting it repaired.

6. Save all evidence. You may want to throw out your torn clothes and broken possessions, but hold on to them.
