Helping Tennessee accident victims throughout the state, as well as in Nashville, Gallatin, Franklin, and Murfreesboro

The vast majority of goods move across this great country by semi-truck. Both long and short hauls take products from point to point, and the American economy could not survive without this commercial transport.

However, truck operators are increasingly under stress as high diesel prices and demanding delivery schedules make their work more and more difficult. The majority of truck drivers are professionals who want to arrive safely at their destinations. Still, there are drivers who take unnecessary risks with their equipment and companies which push their drivers beyond reasonable limits.

Annually, there are over 400,000 accidents involving commercial box trucks and tractor-trailers, many of these in Tennessee. Approximately 10% of these crashes result in fatalities. When a truck accident occurs, a trucking company representative arrives as soon as possible to gather evidence and determine liability. These representatives may even attempt to negotiate with victims to avoid potential law suits.

If you, or a loved one, has been injured in an accident involving a commercial truck, never take any settlement immediately offered to you. Instead, contact an experienced Tennessee commercial truck accident attorney to assess your damages and examine your claim. They have the knowledge to classify the facts of your case and help you seek the compensation to which you may be entitled.

Do not attempt to litigate a truck accident claim without proven expertise on your side. Contact the Tennessee commercial truck accident attorney at the Law Office of Stanley A. Davis today.
