Why Would a Truck Driver Leave the Scene of a St. Louis Accident?

Accidents are traumatic themselves but when the driver of a large truck decides to leave the scene, it can add even more stress and complications. There are reasons a truck driver might leave the scene of your accident, including:

• Driving under the influence
• Improper use of machinery
• Fear of facing charges
• Known safety violations

What Should I Do If I Sustain a Hit-and-Run by a Commercial Vehicle in St. Louis?

Being involved in a hit-and-run trucking accident is frightening. Our St. Louis-based hit-and-run truck accident attorneys recommend taking several steps immediately after being injured in a crash to ensure your safety and the best possible outcome in your case:

• Get to safety Stay at the scene of the accident so it can be properly documented, but do what you can to keep yourself, your passengers, and other roadway users safe.
• Call 911 Get first responders to the scene of the accident as quickly as possible. Stay in a safe spot and wait for medical responders to examine you. Even if you do not think you are seriously injured, make sure to get emergency medical attention because you could be in shock or have injuries that are not readily visible, like whiplash or a concussion.You also want to give an accident report by speaking to the police right away.
• Try and remember, as accurately as possible, the following:
  • What the truck driver and vehicle looked like
  • The truck license plate
  • The company name if listed on the truck
  • Time, location and the direction the truck was traveling
• Collect evidence If you require serious medical attention right away, disregard these next steps. Allow the ambulance to take you to the hospital to receive the necessary medical care. But if you are physically able to, take pictures of the road and traffic conditions, the damage to your vehicle, and your injuries. This evidence could be vital in your hit-and-run truck accident claim.
• Contact a hit-and-run truck accident lawyer As soon as possible after the accident and once you have left the scene and returned to safety, you need to contact a qualified hit-and-run truck accident lawyer. With a free initial consultation, a lawyer at Burger Law can get a sense of your situation to determine whether you have a truck accident case and whether you need a lawyer. Once you have hired a lawyer, they will advise you on additional steps to take during your case and will help take care of the intricacies of filing a truck accident case for you.
• Receive medical treatment Once you have hired a lawyer and filed your accident claim, follow your lawyer’s advice. One important thing to do is to continue to get medical treatment for your injuries. The medical files and documentation will help you prove your case. Plus, you want to get the prompt medical treatment that will help you make as full a recovery as possible.

Client Reviews

This law firm is absolutely amazing. They took on my case, when nobody else would! They fought hard for me when it seemed there was no hope. They kept me informed and always asked for my input before making decisions on my case. Gary puts himself into every case unlike most law firm owners. Gary and his team really care about every one of their clients, and fights hard to get you a fair settlement. They actually won my case out of court, and then reduced my fees to make sure I could get my car fixed and be able to get back to some normality. I would recommend Burger Law over and above any other firm! If you go somewhere else you aren’t getting the best!

Gary and Casey took great care of me for 2.5 years as my lawsuit was finally settled. I feel he helped me achieve justice for me and my 4 children after their father died from medical malpractice and neglect. Thanks to Gary, my kids now have a great start to their college and adult lives. Thank you Gary and Casey, for fighting for us so hard at our most trying and difficult time in our lives thus far. Love and God bless from my family to yours!
