Big Trucks Cause Big Damages
Very serious injuries and very high medical bills oftentimes follow an automobile and trucking accident. Commercial trucks, such as tractor-trailer rigs, semi-trucks, dump trucks, garbage trucks, etc., can weigh in excess of 80,000 pounds and cause massive damage when truck drivers fail to pay attention. Out of a fear of losing their job, sometimes truck drivers are untruthful about how the automobile accident happened when they give statements to police.
Thankfully, there is a lot of data that can be collected from the computers onboard a big commercial truck. An experienced Tennessee personal injury lawyer can help you secure data that shows how fast the truck was moving before the impact happened and possibly collect live video footage of the wreck. We have helped thousands of victims in Tennessee. Read over 200 reviews from former clients who gave us 5 star reviews by searching for us in Maps.
