Information about Commercial Trucking Accidents

From Nashville Commercial Truck Accident Attorney Stanley A. Davis

Aiding our clients in many Tennessee cities, including Nashville, Gallatin, Murfreesboro, Clarkesville, Dickson, Franklin, and Lebanon

A loaded semi truck can weigh over 60 tons. It can require over 400 feet of stopping distance at 65 MPH, compared to just over 160 feet for a car, and the force of an 18-wheeler impact can punch through the side of a building.

Semi trucks are the backbone of American commerce, and they move the majority of goods across this great country. Even so, accidents involving commercial trucks can and do occur, and the resulting damage to passengers in car and other private vehicles can be devastating.

Over 400,000 accidents occur every year in which a commercial vehicle, such as a semi truck, a box truck or a commercial bus was involved. In the event of a trucking accident, representatives from the trucking or bus companies will often attempt to settle with victims out of court, often for much less than the injuries are truly worth. A specialized Nashville commercial truck accident lawyer can help you recover the compensation you deserve for your injuries.

The cost of an automotive injury is not determined solely on immediate medical expenses. You may be entitled to compensation for pain and suffering as well as for future medical expenses and lost wages.

Mr. Stanley A. Davis is an experienced Nashville commercial truck accident attorney who will help you sort through all the details of an auto vs. truck injury case. He will help you think the matter through and determine exactly how to value your claim.

If you have been involved with an accident where a commercial truck or bus is liable, do not attempt to settle the case on your own. Contact a Nashville commercial truck accident lawyer at the Law Office of Stanley A. Davis for a free initial consultation.
