Truck accidents are a big deal for everyone involved—in many ways.
First, they’re more likely to result in serious injuries and death than other types of accidents. That’s because big trucks outweigh even the largest passenger vehicles 15 times over. When they collide, surviving or escaping severe injuries is often a matter of luck.
Second, there are more potentially liable parties in truck accidents. The truck driver, owner, and company all may be involved. In addition, other drivers can be liable if they caused a chain-reaction crash that involved a big truck.
Finally, big truck collisions often involve large settlements—and insurance companies are even more reluctant to pay those settlements than they are to pay settlements after crashes involving passenger vehicles. Because of that reluctance, they spend more time, energy, and resources on reducing or denying truck accident claims.
When you get an experienced Nashville truck accident lawyer on your side, you can level the playing field or even put the advantage in your corner. And at Ponce Law, that’s exactly what we’re here for. We know both Tennessee truck accident laws and federal truck accident laws, which are established and upheld by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).
That means we can quickly and effectively review all the evidence to determine who was at fault and why, even if it appears one or more parties weren’t liable at first glance. Don’t settle for a law firm that takes truck accident claims without understanding them and their unique challenges. Contact our legal team today for a free consultation. We’re ready to help you get the money you’re owed.
