Truck accidents happen so quickly that victims often don’t recall certain events immediately. By the following day, as you run all the events leading up to the accident through your mind, you will begin to piece things together. Those first few days after any accident are so important because that’s really when those involved and the witnesses remember all the fine details that will later be forgotten.
EVIDENCE CAN BE LOST
This is the major reason why personal injury attorneys always recommend that you speak to a trucking lawyer as soon as possible after an 18-wheeler accident. The facts will be fresh on your mind during that first week or so after an accident, but as a few weeks go by and things in your life return to normal, you may quickly forget important aspects of what happened.
Even when victims don’t think they’ve been hurt, a few days will pass and they may wake up with a sore neck or back or bruising on some part of their body. Suddenly, it becomes clear that they were indeed injured. The reason for this is adrenaline. During an accident, your body will produce huge amounts of adrenaline, which can give you that feeling of being high. This adrenaline rush can also prevent you from feeling pain as well.
