Trucking Accidents
Memphis Truck Accident Attorneys
Being involved in an accident with an 18-wheel truck can be one of the most traumatic experiences of your life. Large, fast moving trucks, coupled with high-pressure delivery schedules and congested roadways may be a recipe for disaster. And even though your passenger vehicle may offer adequate protections for most highway collisions, passenger vehicles can often be no match for a direct impact with a tractor-trailer.
Accidents involving commercial vehicles are typically more complex than those involving other non-commercial automobiles. This is due to the fact liability may extend beyond the actual driver of the 18-wheeler to include their employer, the owner of the trailer or freight, the dispatcher, those responsible for the maintenance of the truck or trailer, and those responsible for the actual loading of the truck’s cargo. Additionally these parties may be spread across a wide geographic area, making finding and securing the necessary evidence difficult and cumbersome. Further, the laws regulating commercial vehicles, as well as their insurance system, are different than those for ordinary passenger vehicles.
Hiring an attorney to represent you in your trucking accident case can make all the difference between being treated fairly and receiving full compensation or not.
