Maybe you’re passing through Texas, visiting family in Georgia, or heading into Illinois for work. 

Then, out of nowhere, a commercial truck veers off course and slams into your vehicle.

In a split second, your trip turns into a life-changing event. You're far from home, in pain, unsure who to trust, and getting calls from an insurance company that’s already trying to close the door on your claim.

So what happens now?

If you've been hurt in a truck wreck while traveling out of state, here's what you need to know — and how our truck wreck lawyers at Witherite Law Group can help.

What Makes Out-of-State Truck Wrecks So Complicated?

Getting into a truck wreck is bad enough. But when it happens far from home, the stress multiplies. You’re dealing with injuries, hospital bills, maybe a totaled car — all while trying to figure out how to handle a claim in a different state.

Each state has its own rules. And trucking companies know how to use that confusion to their advantage. They have massive legal teams trained to fight claims just like yours — especially if you’re not local and don’t know the system.

That’s why it’s critical to get a legal team that does.

Our Rapid Response Team Gets to Work — Even If You’ve Already Gone Home

When you're from out of state, you might not be able to stay and manage things on-site. But the trucking company is already taking steps to protect themselves.

That’s where our Rapid Response Team (RRT) comes in.

As soon as you hire us, we act fast to lock down the evidence — before it disappears. Our team at Witherite Law Group will:

  • Recover and secure black box and crash data
  • Document the crash site and any physical damage
  • Pull dash cam footage, 911 audio, and traffic surveillance
  • Interview witnesses and coordinate expert inspections
  • Ensure records aren’t tampered with or lost in transit

We handle all of this locally, so you don't have to be here in person. You can focus on recovery — we’ll take care of the rest.

Steps to Take After a Truck Wreck While Traveling

If you're injured in a crash with a commercial truck while out of state, follow these steps as soon as possible:

Get Medical Attention: Even if your injuries feel minor, go to the ER or urgent care. Some injuries, like head trauma or internal bleeding, take time to show up. A medical record is also critical for your case.

Report the Crash: Call law enforcement and request an accident report. It’s an important piece of evidence that helps establish who was at fault.

Document the Scene: Take photos or video of your vehicle, the truck, your injuries, skid marks, signs, or anything else that helps tell the story.

Don't Talk to Their Insurance Alone: The trucking company’s insurance rep is not on your side — no matter how friendly they sound. Let us handle that conversation for you.

‍Call Witherite Law Group: You don’t need to figure this out on your own. We’ll take the pressure off and get to work immediately. Call us today for legal help.

We Know How to Handle Cross-State Cases

With offices and licensed attorneys across Texas, Georgia, and Illinois, we know the systems, courts, and regulations in place, and how to work across state lines when our clients don’t live locally.

Whether you're from another state passing through or you’re temporarily working in town, our team knows how to build a case that gets you the compensation you deserve.

Why Legal Experience Matters in Truck Wreck Cases

Trucking companies have massive legal teams. Their job is to minimize how much they pay out, no matter how badly you’re hurt.

Our job? To stop them.

At Witherite Law Group, we focus on nothing but serious wrecks — especially involving commercial trucks. We’ve secured billions of dollars in verdicts and settlements for people just like you. Our attorneys go through specialized training in:

  • Federal and state trucking regulations
  • Crash dynamics and vehicle mechanics
  • Logbook manipulation and driver fatigue
  • Corporate safety violations and cover-ups

We’ve spent time inside the trucks, not just behind a desk. We know how these rigs operate — and how companies cut corners when no one’s watching.

That training means we don't just tell your story — we prove it.
