CMV Accident Field Checklist
A one-page checklist for the first hour after a commercial vehicle accident. Built to live on a clipboard in the cab. Free download.
What’s on the page
- Scene-safety steps in order: secure, signal, photograph, assess injuries
- The five photos every post-accident reconstruction needs (and the angle to take them from)
- Witness contact capture lines, pre-formatted for legibility under bad lighting
- Driver statement prompts that protect the driver without inviting an insurance dispute
- Mandatory reporting trigger thresholds: when DOT post-accident testing is required, when a recordable becomes a reportable
- The phone-call sequence: dispatch, insurance, attorney (in that order)
Who it’s for
New trucking companies running 1 to 5 trucks. Carriers without a dedicated safety director. Owner-operators who cannot afford a missed-photo mistake to compound into an 18-month dispute.
