Truck / Tractor Trailer Accidents
Semi-Truck, Eighteen Wheeler, and Tractor-Trailer Crashes
Truck accidents, semi-truck accidents and collisions involving tractor-trailers or big rigs involve a complicated set of laws and investigation of large amounts of evidence. The trucking industry is heavily regulated, so accidents involving trucks are generally much more complicated than typical car or pick-up truck accidents. Not only are the lawsuits more complex, but injuries are often devastating, including paralysis, brain injuries, severe burns, and death. Tennessee and the federal government have enacted laws designed to keep the public roadways safe, as well as the drivers traveling on the roads. For years, the trucking industry and drivers have violated these laws, resulting in staggering injury, damage and loss.
At Bednarz & Bednarz, our Nashville semi tractor-trailer accident attorneys are experienced in the investigation, settlement, and trial of tractor-trailer accident cases. We routinely handle claims for accidents that occur on I-65, I-40, I-24, I-440, and elsewhere in middle Tennessee. The many types of Tennessee trucking accidents our Nashville truck accident lawyers handle can be grouped into the following categories:
