Truck Accident Attorney


A truck accident attorney is often needed because the injuries are so severe in these kinds of road incidents. These tractor-trailer trucks may weigh in excess of 40 tons. The average car weighs two and a half tons. I am ready to speak with you or a loved one regarding wrongful death and catastrophic injury claims. I specialize in these cases.

Call my offices today if you need a truck accident attorney. A crash with an 18 wheeler can ruin the lives of an entire family. Unfortunately, these collisions are common – a severe crash with these vehicles occurs once every 16 minutes in the United States, resulting in severe injuries and fatalities. There may be many reasons for a trucking error or malfunction. If you have been involved in one of these collisions due to a trucker’s negligence or recklessness, you owe it to yourself and your loved ones to have me review the details. You have a one year window to file a claim in cases like this; one year starting from the date of the accident. Call me now.

I am a truck accident attorney who specializes in these cases. I am one of only two-percent of lawyers that is certified by the Tennessee State Bar Association as a civil trial specialist. There are many lawyers that work in multiple areas of the legal system; I focus on personal injury. I have a special place in my heart for tort action, especially when negligence is particularly egregious.

If my services are retained as a truck accident attorney, I will work to establish negligence on the part of the other driver. Most of these men and women are hard-working people, but this $671 billion industry (in the U.S. alone) puts plenty of pressure on drivers to haul as much cargo as they can, as fast as possible. This can lead to disastrous consequences to other drivers, who have a lawful right to expect consideration from professional drivers. The following big rig problems are often shown in court:

  • Driver fatigue
  • Over loaded cargo
  • Brake failure
  • Drug use (especially amphetamines)
  • Speeding
  • Careless inspection
  • Driver distraction


Negligence means failure to exercise the care toward others that a reasonable or prudent person would use in the same circumstances, or taking action that such a reasonable person would not, resulting in unintentional harm to another. In other words, all licensed motorist have a duty toward their fellow drivers. This point is especially true for professionals carrying dozens of tons of cargo.

I am a truck accident attorney that is here to discuss wrongful death claims. If your loved one has been the victim of a driver’s negligence or recklessness, you may be entitled to compensation. For spouses, there is a term known as loss of consortium, which accounts for overall intimacy and affection that has been lost. I am here to discuss more of your questions and concerns.
