18-Wheeler Accident Lawyer Memphis, TN

Truck Accident Claims Are More Complicated Than Car Crash Cases
Any high-speed vehicle collision is likely to produce devastating injuries to passengers in a car or SUV, but when one vehicle outweighs the other by 10 tons, there’s a good chance that the occupants of the much-smaller vehicle will suffer permanently disabling harm. Recovery could take months, with no guarantee that you’ll regain your full abilities. Many people are out of work for months, which causes significant financial burdens. You’re entitled to claim full compensation for all necessary medical care, including physical therapy and other rehabilitative care, plus the full value of all unearned wages from the time you missed at work (even if you used PTO to cover part of it). Economic damages, therefore, in truck accident claims can easily top six figures, and may approach $1 million.
Because semi-truck accident claims are so high, insurance carriers examine the details very closely. Your case must be strong, based on solid evidence and current Tennessee tort law. Our lawyers understand what it takes to prove negligence against the trucker and other liable parties, and we have access to medical, transportation, and economic experts who can help us build our case and properly value your claim.
