What should I do immediately after a truck accident in Florida to preserve evidence?

Immediately after a commercial truck accident, taking swift action is critical to protect your rights. The Altman Law Firm recommends these steps: 1. Seek medical attention immediately for your health and safety. 2. Contact law enforcement to document the crash. 3. Request that the trucking company preserve the truck's black box data and driver logs. 4. Capture photos of the scene, vehicle damage, and skid marks. Under Jeffrey S. Altman's guidance, sending a formal spoliation letter to the carrier is a top priority to prevent the destruction of critical Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration records.
