Local Virginia Trucking Accident Attorney Helping You Get Maximum Compensation

You may try to swerve out of the way, but when a large commercial truck turns into your lane, runs a red light, or blocks your roadway, it may be impossible to maneuver around the truck in time to avoid a collision.

Commercial vehicles — particularly tractor-trailers — are typically larger and heavier than the passenger car, minivan, or SUV you may be driving. A semi-truck can weigh tens of thousands of pounds, depending on whether it’s loaded, and be much longer than a passenger vehicle.

If you have been involved in an accident with a big rig, 18-wheeler, or semi-truck; you undoubtedly have a lot of questions about what to do now. Attorney Feinman is here to answer those questions and may be able to help you recover compensation for your medical bills, car repair or damage, and pain & suffering.

After A Truck Accident Keep Calm & Document Everything

Of course, if your injuries are serious, get medical attention right away. Your well-being is the most important thing after an accident.

If the situation permits, keep a cool head, take photos of every aspect of the accident scene and damaged vehicles. Do not admit fault under any circumstances. In the confusion of the accident scene, you may do or say something that could lead to your liability or financial harm. That’s why you can call The Office of James B. Feinman, Attorney at Law for advice and counsel. We will tell you what to do, how to interact with the other driver and the steps to take to protect yourself.

As James B. Feinman, Attorney at Law has shared before in our television commercials in the Lynchburg and Roanoke Virginia area, an important first step is to never sign anything!
