Nashville Truck Accident FAQs

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

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.
