What should I do immediately after a truck accident in Missouri?

Your safety comes first. Call 911 to report the accident and request medical assistance if needed. Under Missouri law, any crash that ends in injury, death, or property damage over $500 must be reported to law enforcement.

Be sure to:

• Exchange information with the truck driver (including employer details).
• Take photos or videos of the scene, injuries, and vehicle damage.
• Gather contact information for any witnesses.
• Avoid making statements to the trucking company’s insurer.

Before giving any recorded statements or signing documents, speak with a St. Louis truck accident attorney to avoid jeopardizing your claim.
