Nashville Truck Accident Attorney
Lawyer in Nashville representing you in your Truck Accident
There are more trucks on the roads than ever before. With the current North American Fair Trade Act (NAFTA) laws, trucks from Mexico and Canada are frequently on our roads as well. Not only are there more trucks on our roads, but many of them are large and travel with multi trailers attached. Foreign tractor-trailer rigs and rigs from the U.S. may not meet appropriate safety standards or be covered adequately by insurance. The potential lack of adequate insurance coverage and the size of trucks present potential problems for drivers of passenger vehicles.
A truck driver may be constantly on the road, and many have “sleepers” attached to the back of their cabs. These small areas behind the cab typically hold a bed and other sleeping and living arrangements, so that a trucker can park at a rest stop or other truck stop and sleep while on his route. Truckers are closely regulated on the amount of time they can drive, and how much sleep they need to get in any given 24 hour period. However, these rules are violated frequently, resulting in tired drivers who are involved in truck accidents.
In a truck accident, injuries are often severe. The claims adjusters for insurance companies which insure trucking companies are often highly skilled and aggressive. You need an expert and professional Nashville truck accident attorney to represent you if you have been involved in a truck accident.

After a Trucking Accident
After a truck accident it may well be vital to your chances of recovery to preserve critical evidence and witness testimony related to the accident and the events which preceded it. There may be several vehicles involved in the same accident which was caused by a truck. Having all the required information and evidence is essential so that I, as your attorney, can effectively present your bodily injury claim. A careful review of your medical treatment and records will also be done, to ensure that you obtain the proper monetary compensation for your injuries.
Although I may be able to negotiate a settlement of your claim directly with the trucking company’s insurance carrier, a trial may be necessary to recover adequate compensation for you. I have the experience and skill to take the needed steps to bring your case to trial and to provide you with the best possible outcome. As an experienced trial lawyer, I have successfully obtained sizeable awards and policy limits settlements for many of my clients. I have an AV rating, the highest rating attainable by a lawyer, from Martindale-Hubbell.
