The Nashville, Tennessee law office of Rob McKinney, Attorney at Law provides experienced, aggressive legal help for people who have been injured in semi truck accidents anywhere in Tennessee. We represent people who have been injured by collisions with tractor-trailers as well as injured commercial truck drivers.

Workers' Comp Is Not the Only Option for Injured Truckers Commercial truck accidents can be as catastrophic for the truck driver as they can be for other victims. It is important to know, however, that when a truck accident happens, it is often not the commercial driver's fault. If a negligent driver caused an accident and you were injured while driving a commercial truck, you may think your only option is a workers' comp claim. You should know that negligent drivers can and should be held responsible for your losses. Even if the other driver's insurance can't cover your claim, you have the right to know that your trucking company carries uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage which could cover any damages the other driver's company doesn't. To find out about how to make a third-party liability claim in addition to your workers' comp benefits, contact us now for your free case evaluation.

Attorney Rob McKinney has extensive knowledge of the crucial issues in seeking compensation for people injured in accidents involving commercial trucks whether they were driving the car hit by a semi truck, or a trucker who was hit by a car. These often complex legal issues include finding out which entity or entities could be held liable, which insurance companies are responsible for claims, and federal trucking regulations.

If you or someone you care about has been injured in a semi truck accident, please contact us toll free at 1-866-502-0009 or by e-mail to arrange your free case evaluation.

Why is it important to seek legal help as soon as possible?

It is essential for injured people to seek legal help as soon as they can after a trucking accident has occurred. As soon as we accept your case, we can mobilize our investigators—we need to get someone on the scene before the truck is moved, evidence is destroyed or misplaced, and witnesses are missed.

Truck drivers are trained to call dispatch immediately after any accident, and the trucking company's insurance company is often on scene within hours. It is crucial to contact an attorney as soon as possible to ensure the evidence is preserved.

How could the Federal Motor Vehicle Carrier Safety Act affect your case?

Truckers are required to comply with state and federal trucking regulations or they could be considered negligent automatically. Often, non-compliance results in devastating injuries to other motorists as well as the truckers. Unfortunately, many truckers may be forced into non-compliance by their trucking companies. Common causes of trucking accidents include the following:

• Driver fatigue
• Drinking and drug use
• Improper truck maintenance
• Unsecured or improperly secured loads
• Excessive speed for the road conditions
• Failure to yield due to vision or acuity issues
• Inadequate truck driver training
• Trucking companies' failure to properly perform background checks, leading to negligent hiring
