A friend of mine was hit by a large commercial truck this week. My friend is not a lawyer and is trying to deal with what to do when involved in a trucking accident. The auto accident was in downtown Portland, Oregon and was not my friend's fault.
Auto accidents can happen at any time and can be quite scary -- getting hit by a commercial truck can be even scarier. Most commercial truck drivers involved in accidents have to file a report with the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). The ODOT report can provide a wealth of information including how the accident occurred, the names of witnesses, the weight of the vehicles/load and the results of the drug test of the driver.
