Accidents involving tractor-trailers can be among the worst car accidents because of the size and speed of the tractor-trailer. Recently, two people died  when a tractor-trailer collided with an SUV in New York.

Accidents are scary enough, and dealing with the aftermath is never fun.

What should you do if you are involved in a car accident with a tractor-trailer? 

Health First

Prioritize your health, and the health of anyone involved in the accident. Make sure you get medical treatment, and follow the doctor's orders precisely. Go to all medical appointments, get all tests done, and be sure to take medication exactly as prescribed.

If you have injuries, photograph them, as this could come in handy in court later. But, most importantly, do what the doctor advises.

Get Help with Insurance Claims

Be careful with insurance companies. Since there might be a legal battle over who is "at-fault" in an accident, you should have your attorney review your insurance claim before submitting it.

Whether your health insurance is covering your medical bills, or your auto insurance is covering your auto repairs, it is best to let attorneys guide you when filling out paperwork.
