There is only recourse for you if you were injured in some way and/or your vehicle was damaged. Â If you believe the truck did this to you intentionally, you may want to file criminal charges, but you can not recover civilly unless you were damaged.

Hello. There may be a criminal issue, depending on the facts. There may be possible civil liability, but, again, the full facts need to be known. Usually, you would need to prove harm, damage, to you. Please confer with a private attorney who is licensed in the involved state. Some attorneys are available seven days for emergency legal needs. Many attorneys will confer initially at no charge. Then, if legal work is performed, some attorneys will provide a reduced fee for financial hardship. Some attorneys may also assist you in limited scope manner to conserve legal costs. All the best.
