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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. PattersonBray Estate Planning was an incredible firm to work with setting up our Trust. Judith Denham was thorough, very smart, and personable as she patiently explained each part.  Gabby put together  a very professional beautiful binder for us to have, and has answered questions we have had since  then. I am so glad they were recommended to us, and we had them to walk us through this procedure.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Heath Taylor was a genuine joy to work with during my divorce: straight forward, professional, and knowledgeable. I do hope I never have the need to acquire more legal help, but if I do, he'll be my first call. Thank you for everything, Heath!!
