Truck accident claim: file free and get a free case review
Crashes with commercial trucks often involve more parties than a typical car accident: the driver, the trucking company, the cargo loader, a maintenance contractor, and several insurers. Collecting the facts early helps an attorney understand who may be involved.

What to gather before you file
You don't need everything to start. File with what you have, and add more later.
- The truck company name and USDOT number shown on the cab door
- The truck and trailer plate numbers
- Photos of the truck's markings and position
- Photos of the scene, injuries and any damage
- Names and contact info of witnesses
- Medical records, bills and appointment notes
- Any report number (police, incident or accident report)
Good to know
Commercial carriers are subject to federal safety regulations, and records such as driver logs may only be kept for a limited time. That is one reason people choose to have an attorney review a truck crash promptly.
Legal deadlines apply to every injury claim and vary by state. We can't tell you your deadline, so please don't wait to talk with an attorney.
How filing works
- File online (about 10 minutes) or call the Super Intelligent Claim Line.
- An independent attorney licensed in your state reviews the facts for free.
- If the attorney can help, they contact you. You decide whether to go forward.

Truck accident claim FAQ
I don't know which company owned the truck. Can I still file?
Yes. Share whatever you have, such as a photo of the truck or the report number. The reviewing attorney can follow up.
Is a truck claim handled differently from a car claim?
Often, yes, because federal rules and several companies may be involved. An attorney can explain what that means in your situation.
