Nashville Tractor Trailer Accident
Everyday thousands of tractor trailers pass through Tennessee, most without any problems, (as my father was a tractor trailer driver for over 30 years) however when there is an accident with an eighteen wheeler, it can be deadly. Middle Tennessee has no less than 4 major interstates that cut across the region, not including all of our local highways, in our major cites in Tennessee we have now dedicated trucking lanes that restrict truckers from driving in the lanes designated for automobiles, even with these dedicated lanes we continue to have major trucking accidents within our state.
It might surprise you to learn that some trucking companies and their insurance companies have responding teams, you might ask what is a responding team? A quick responding team from the insurance company and or the trucking company is a team of accident investigators, attorneys, and claims adjusters, they are all very professional, and they are all working for the trucking company or the trucking company insurance carrier, they may even come to the hospital where you are taken after the wreck. I have seen first hand the devastation that a tractor trailer wreck can cause, the shear weight that most trucks are carrying can have catastrophic repercussions should there be an accident.
As a young man I grew up with a first hand knowledge of the trucking business, as my father and relatives drove tractor trailers. I grew up learning and watching my father and other family members fill out log books, check trucks before every haul and deal with accidents that involved their trucks. It is from this knowledge that I have learned many of the industry practices and procedures, including trucking regulations, weigh station requirements, and over all safety protocall. It is this knowledge that I combine with my legal training to protect your rights against the trucking companies.
