Trucking Accidents
Memphis Truck Accident Attorneys
Each year, there are over a half-million truck accidents on roadways across the United States. What is even more frightening is these collisions result in over 5,000 fatalities. Accidents involving trucks and commercial vehicles need to be dealt with very differently than those involving non-commercial vehicles. The reason is that liability may extend beyond the driver to other parties, including the driver’s employer, the owner of the trailer and the freight, those responsible for maintenance and the individuals who loaded the vehicle. To make things even more complex, the laws regulating commercial vehicles and the insurance system covering them, are very different than those for regular passenger vehicles. Trucking collisions and claims are a specialized area of law that requires in-depth knowledge of the extensive regulations that govern the trucking industry.
