Downtown Dallas isn't just busy—it's a maze of constant construction, packed freeways, tight intersections, and heavy commercial traffic.

If you’ve ever driven down Woodall Rodgers Freeway, squeezed through Canton Street, or navigated the tight curves around Market Street, you know it only takes one careless truck driver to cause a serious crash.

At Witherite Law Group, we aren’t just another personal injury firm. We were founded right here in Dallas, built from the ground up by attorneys who understand this city, its roads, and the real lives that are impacted when trucking companies cut corners. We were built to fight differently. And we win.

What To Do If You’re Hit by a Semitruck in Downtown Dallas

1. Prioritize Your Safety:

  • If you're able, move to a safe area out of traffic. Downtown streets like Commerce Street or Main Street can turn chaotic fast, and secondary collisions are common.
  • Call 911 immediately and report the crash.
  • Even if you feel "okay," don't refuse medical attention at the scene. Adrenaline can mask serious internal injuries.

2. Collect Evidence While You Can:

Before vehicles are moved or the cleanup begins:

  • Take pictures of vehicle damage, street signs, skid marks, and traffic signals.
  • Get names and contact info for witnesses—people walking around Pegasus Plaza, West End Historic District, or nearby businesses might have seen everything.
  • Ask for the truck driver’s company information and insurance details.

Every detail matters when you're going up against a trucking company’s legal team.

3. Do Not Admit Fault:

Accidents are confusing, and it’s natural to want to apologize—even if you weren't at fault. Don't do it. Simply stick to the facts when talking to police officers or other drivers. Anything you say could be used later to reduce your compensation.

4. Get Thorough Medical Treatment:

Downtown accidents can involve high-speed impacts, tight turns, and heavy vehicles—all of which increase the risk of hidden injuries. Whether it’s a trip to Parkland Memorial Hospital or a follow-up with a trusted orthopedic specialist, make sure every symptom is documented. Following your doctor’s advice strengthens both your recovery and your legal claim.

5. Contact Witherite Law Group:

Once you're safe and stable, the next step is protecting your future.

  • Truck wreck lawyers who understand the industry and have even gone to trucking school
  • In-house medical team to coordinate your treatment and strengthen your claim
