Truck Accident Lawyer in Nashville, Tennessee and Surrounding Areas

Truck accidents are more complicated than a simple automobile collision. The stakes are higher because trucking companies are required by law to carry much higher amounts of liability insurance. Our truck accident legal team in Nashville thoroughly analyzes each case we handle to identify all the potentially responsible parties and the potential sources of insurance available.

We develop a plan for each case to accomplish the best outcome and quickest outcome for our client.

Through careful preparation and aggressive negotiation, we are often able to secure compensation for a client within a matter of weeks after opening a case file. We often represent people who have been frustrated in their dealings with another law firm and did not receive the individual attention they expected.



We understand that you may be struggling to pay your household bills if you have been seriously injured and lost income from missing weeks or months of work. We often seek the Medical Payments portion of liability insurance, which can provide some immediate compensation to help you pay medical bills, while we pursue compensation from the trucking company and their insurer. We also will handle – free of charge – the property damage portion of your claim to get your car repaired or replaced while we are pursuing your personal injury claim.

What Does A Truck Accident Investigation Look Like?

Will this investigation be in your best interest? Probably not. Trucking companies have teams of lawyers and insurers working on their behalf to protect their business interests and profits. They want to mitigate their losses as cheaply and quietly as possible. That doesn’t bode well for you if you’ve been seriously injured by a trucker. Shifting as much of the blame as possible onto you may be their way of lessening their liability and saving money – money that should be going towards your medical bills, and pain and suffering.

Hiring your own attorney means you have someone working exclusively on your behalf to protect your rights and get to the bottom of what really happened. Even having a favorable police report documenting the circumstances of the accident may not be enough. An aggressive defense for the trucking company can counter that report by saying an officer is not a qualified professional able to make a judgment about the nature of a truck accident. You need more evidence to counter the aggressive tactics of a trucking company and its representatives.



An experienced trucking accident attorney has the resources to conduct a complete investigation into the circumstances of your specific accident. The evidence collected in the course of this investigation is vital to building a strong and solid case. Getting an attorney involved quickly is also crucial. The sooner you have legal representation, the sooner your attorney can issue the necessary legal documents to preserve evidence and documentation before it is lost or even destroyed.

How Can I Afford A Nashville Truck Accident Lawyer?

Large truck accident investigations are extremely complex and come with several moving parts. To start, it is important to remember that the trucking company and their team of lawyers and insurance adjusters will conduct their own investigation into the cause of the accident.

Our legal team works on a contingency-fee basis. We do not charge upfront legal fees. We understand that with unexpected medical bills, money is tight after a serious accident. A contingency-fee arrangement shows our commitment to helping accident victims seek justice and to putting clients first. Clients do not pay any out-of-pocket legal expenses unless we obtain compensation for them through an insurance settlement or court award.
