Philadelphia, PA personal injury attorney Leon Aussprung M.D., ESQ. gives his advice for people injured in a collision with a truck. He notes that when someone is involved in an accident, whether a trucking accident or another type, the first step is to consult with an attorney before providing any formal statement. While it is necessary to give an honest and accurate statement to the police at the scene, individuals should be cautious about speaking directly to their insurance company. Statements to insurers can sometimes be misconstrued or used against the claimant. It is important to remain cooperative and professional with the insurance company while clearly communicating that legal representation will be involved and that any formal written or recorded statement will be provided only after consultation with an attorney.
