After a gravel truck accident, it is important to gather information from witnesses about the truck, driver, and company. Contact the trucking company directly through their website or by phone to submit your claim and get your damages inspected for reimbursement. As an alternative, you can file a claim with your own insurance company, considering your deductible and repair costs. Always discuss your options with the trucking company or insurance provider before getting repairs done.
