18-Wheeler Accident Lawyer Memphis, TN
Full-Service Legal Advocacy After A Semi-Truck Crash
Memphis’s location along some of the largest land and river shipping corridors in the country means that our city sees thousands of semi-trucks rumbling along I-40, I-55, and I-240 each day. With heavy traffic at all hours, a lot of tourists on the roads, and these massive machines, it’s a recipe for a disastrous commercial vehicle accident. If you or someone you love has been hurt in a collision with a semi-truck, our Memphis, TN 18-wheeler accident lawyer can help you get the compensation you deserve for your medical care and other losses.
At Patterson Bray PLLC, we focus on handling complex truck accident claims. Our knowledge of federal and state regulations for truckers and shipping companies and decades of experience as fierce litigators make us the best choice to help you achieve the best possible outcome for your claim. Please contact us today for a free consultation.
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.
Why Choose Us For Your Memphis Truck Accident Attorneys
The outcome of your truck accident claim often depends on the experience and knowledge of your attorney. At Patterson Bray PLLC, we have dedicated our time to exploring the nuances of FMCSA trucking regulations and closely following case law and development of trucking regulatory statutes. Our Memphis 18-wheeler accident lawyer has the experience and knowledge required to litigate even the most contentious truck accident claim.
When we build your case, we look not just at your current losses, but also at how the truck accident impacted your life. You may be unable to work in the same job you had at the time of the collision, or even be unable to work, period. When we value your case, we look at your future needs, like vocational retraining, a stay in a nursing home, or modifications to your home or vehicle if you become disabled. You’re in good hands with our attorneys, and you can find out more by calling us for a free attorney consultation.

Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve had an outstanding experience with this firm across multiple needs, including trust document creation and forming an LLC. From start to finish, they were professional and proactive. They made sure we understood every step of the process and checked in to confirm our preferences, as well as offering thoughtful alternatives whenever something didn’t feel like a good fit. That level of communication and attention to detail is rare. Every interaction built confidence that we were in the right hands. They not only handled the legal work effectively, but also made the entire process feel manageable and well-guided. We cannot recommend them highly enough and will absolutely continue using them in the future.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Attorney Judith Denham and her legal assistant, Gaby Wright, made a great team in creating a trust for me. Judith explained everything in a clear, cohesive way and set up a trust in a timely manner. She gave me a binder for my trust with all the legal paperwork sectioned off in tabs so I can find things easily. When I had questions, Judith and Gaby were responsive and helpful. I give them my highest recommendation.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

It does a good job of explaining services and further supports itself with testimonials.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a few (what I would consider) silly questions to ask the legal team at Patterson Bray PLLC. Having very little knowledge of the situation I needed clarity on, I had no idea what to expect. I was met with nothing but professionalism and warmth from attorney Rachel Meadows. She gave me information I didn’t even remotely consider, and my questions were thoroughly answered without judgement. She could have certainly given me less detailed responses, but I felt that she genuinely cared about my situation, and appreciated her taking me seriously. I’m extremely impressed with the service I received from this law firm and will happily recommend it.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After bringing up my specific legal issue, I was quickly and throughly informed on how to get started with hiring an attorney as well as informed on whether or not I have a claim to begin with.
