Nashville Trucking Accident Attorney
Serving Middle Tennessee and Beyond
If you were involved in an accident involving a tractor-trailer or other type of truck, you probably suffered serious injuries. The sheer size and speed of semi trucks ensures that drivers of smaller vehicles seldom walk away from truck wrecks. They often suffer catastrophic injuries such as brain injuries, back injuries, spinal cord injuries and paralysis, multiple fractures and burns.

Investigating Your Accident
When we handle cases involving these or any commercial vehicles, we investigate thoroughly. We look at the truck driver's record. Our attorneys determine how the truck was loaded, how the cargo was secured and whether the truck had mechanical defects. We examine the driver's log, the black box and other records to determine whether the driver followed federal trucking regulations regarding rest breaks and speed. We obtain copies of the accident report and consult with medical and vocational experts to determine the effect of the accident on your ability to work.
Fatal Truck Accidents
