A: Since much of the relevant evidence in a West Palm Beach truck accident is collected hours after the crash, you may be tempted to investigate the scene while you wait for the emergency crews to arrive.
While it’s a good idea to take pictures and write down contact information, many people are too injured after a semi crash to take on this responsibility. We have seen countless West Palm Beach accident victims who were unable to collect vital information after the crash for a number of reasons:
- The victim was unconscious, too injured to move, or pinned inside the vehicle
- Medical crews told them to remain still
- Victims were panicked or in a state of shock
- They were administering medical help to children or other passengers
