    1. What are common causes of truck accidents?
      At Ponce Law, we have experience handling a variety of truck accident claims, including accidents caused by:

      • Hours of Service (HOS) Violations
        The law requires truckers to take rest breaks after driving for a certain number of hours. Driving too many hours can lead to poor vision, reduced response times, and impaired judgment.
      • Improper Maintenance
        Defective or worn semi truck parts—such as brakes, tires, or hitches—can cause unpredictable handling, longer stopping distances, and other hazards that can cause serious accidents.
      • Unfit Truck Drivers
        Truckers who are intoxicated, unlicensed, or improperly trained put other drivers at risk. Our truck accident lawyers can help hold negligent trucking companies and their drivers responsible for your accident—related expenses.
    2. Who is responsible for my accident?
      Trucks can be owned, maintained, and leased by more than one company, which can make determining who is responsible for an accident complex and confusing. Our experienced legal team can investigate the details of your accident to determine the drivers, trucking companies, and insurance companies responsible for your damages. We’ll fight to help you get the compensation you need for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, call Ponce Law today. We’re available 24 hours a day, seven days a week—just dial 615-244-4325 or fill out our free initial consultation form.
    1. Do I have a semi truck accident case?

      • Bicyclist
      • Driver or passenger in a motor vehicle

  1. What is a commercial motor vehicle (CMV)?

    • is designed to transport 16 or more passengers, including the driver.

    • has a gross vehicle weight rating or gross vehicle weight of 11,794 kilograms or more (26,001 pounds or more), whichever is greater.
  2. How much is my semi truck accident claim worth?
    The amount of compensation you can receive for your accident-related expenses depends factors such as the severity your injuries, wage loss, and how your accident happened. At Ponce Law, we’ll investigate your claim and help you get the compensation you’re owed to cover all of your accident-related expenses.

    I was driving down I-40 when I got hit by another car. I called Michael Ponce because I wanted an attorney right here in Nashville. As soon as I called, I knew I made the right decision, and Ponce Law got me the money I needed to get back on my feet. I highly recommend Ponce Law!

    After my car accident, I wasn’t sure if I needed an attorney. I called Ponce Law for a free consultation. I’m so glad I made the call. I wanted a local attorney, and from the first call, to when my case was settled, I felt heard, valued, and taken care of.

    I was on I-40 coming into Nashville and a car ran into the back of me. The accident was serious, and I needed surgery. I did ask an attorney friend of mine whom I should call, and he said call Ponce Law. The folks at Ponce Law were outstanding and got us a large settlement.
