You’re driving through downtown Atlanta, maybe on the Connector near Midtown or the tight lanes around Peachtree Street — when it happens. A massive commercial truck swerves, stops short, or flat-out crashes into your car. In seconds, your vehicle’s totaled. Your body hurts in ways you don’t even understand yet.

Now what?

If you or someone you love was injured in a truck wreck in downtown Atlanta, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. Witherite Law Group is here to walk you through your next steps, protect your rights, and fight for the compensation you deserve.

Step-by-Step: What to Do After a Truck Wreck in Downtown Atlanta

When you’ve just been hit by an 18-wheeler, it’s hard to think clearly. Here’s what we recommend — in plain terms.

1. Get to Safety: Move away from traffic if you can. Turn on hazard lights. Make sure emergency responders are on their way.

2. Call 911 and Report the Accident: Insist on an official police report — it’s key evidence for your claim. If you're in the city, this could involve Atlanta PD or Georgia State Patrol depending on the roadway.

3. Document Everything: Use your phone to snap pictures of damage, skid marks, signage, and injuries. If any witnesses are nearby, get their names and contact info.

4. Seek Medical Attention — Immediately: Even if you think you're okay, go get checked out. Injuries from truck wrecks often show up hours or days later. Your health comes first — and documentation helps your legal case.

5. Call Witherite Law Group: Once your safety and health are handled, it’s time to call the professionals. Our Atlanta truck wreck attorneys will walk you through your rights, deal with the insurance companies, and make sure the trucking company doesn’t try to dodge responsibility.
