Experienced Tennessee Truck Accident Lawyer Can Assist with the Complexities of a Tennessee Trucking Accident Claim

Truck accidents can be much more complex than car accidents. Truck drivers have different rules and regulations governing their driving. For example, truck drivers are not allowed to drive for more than 12 hours in a day. However, many truck drivers disobey the law or they engage in other activities such as helping load the truck during their off-time.

It is not surprising that truck driver fatigue is one of the leading causes of truck accidents.

Another aspect of truck accident claims that make them more complicated is the number of potential parties that could have contributed to a Tennessee truck accident, including:

  • Truck driver (e.g., fatigue, careless driving, alcohol or drugs)
  • Truck cab owner (e.g., failing to properly inspect and maintain the truck cab)
  • Truck trailer owner (e.g., failing to properly inspect and maintain the truck trailer)
  • Truck loader (e.g., improper truck loading or load balance)
  • Trucking company that employs the truck driver (e.g., failure to perform adequate background check)
