What To Do After a Truck Accident in Phoenix

Here are the steps that protect your health and your legal claim:

1. Call 911 and get medical help.
2. Move to safety if possible.
3. Take photos of vehicles, license plates, DOT numbers, roadway conditions, and injuries.
4. Get witness information.
5. Exchange insurance details with the truck driver — including employer name.
6. Get medical care even if you feel “okay.”
7. Do not speak to the trucking company’s insurance before calling a lawyer.
8. Call us quickly — critical evidence can disappear within days.

For a deeper overview of your legal rights after a crash, see our guide to Arizona accident laws, reporting rules, and fault. If you were hurt while riding with someone else, our Phoenix injured passenger guide explains how claims work when you weren’t the driver.

Why Truck Accidents Are Different

Commercial trucks weigh up to 80,000 pounds. When something goes wrong, injuries are often severe and evidence disappears fast.

Truck cases are more complex because they involve:

• Federal trucking regulations (FMCSA)
• Multiple companies (driver, employer, broker, maintenance provider, manufacturer)
• Large insurance policies
• Electronic data that can be erased quickly

We move immediately to preserve everything needed to prove fault. To understand how fault is proven under state law, review our overview of Arizona negligence laws and liability rules in injury cases.

Phoenix Truck Accident Statistics

Arizona consistently ranks among the states with the highest number of serious large-truck and commercial vehicle crashes. Data from state and federal agencies shows:

• Thousands of large-truck crashes occur in Arizona each year.
• More than 100 of those crashes result in fatalities statewide.
• When delivery vans, box trucks, and work vehicles are included, total commercial-vehicle crashes reach into the tens of thousands annually.
• The Phoenix metro area sees a disproportionate share due to I-10, I-17, and heavy urban freight traffic.

These numbers highlight how dangerous commercial traffic can be in the Phoenix area — and why fast action to preserve evidence is critical after a crash.

Common Injuries After a Truck Accident

Truck crashes cause serious, long-term injuries, including:

• Broken bones
• Internal injuries
• Burns

• PTSD and anxiety

We work with your doctors, specialists, and vocational experts to document every impact on your life.
