Cheatham County Truck Accident Attorney
Accidents involving commercial vehicles, semi-trucks, or other large vehicles can have devastating consequences for everyone involved. In part, this is because these large vehicles can weigh as much as 80,000 pounds when fully loaded. This disparity in size and weight leads to an imbalance of force in a collision, resulting in much more destructive impacts on smaller and lighter vehicles. If the truck driver is not paying attention or otherwise driving irresponsibly, they are endangering the lives of everyone on the road.
If you were injured in a motor vehicle collision involving a semi-trailer truck or big rig, we encourage you to reach out to Rhonda R. Crabtree. We can help you gather evidence, investigate the crash, file claims, communicate with insurance, and negotiate settlements. Although we resolve most of our cases outside of court, we do have extensive courtroom experience and can litigate your case if necessary. For over 20 years, Attorney Crabtree has been helping Tennesseans pursue justice for personal injuries sustained in automobile crashes and other accidents. Let us do the same for you.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents
Some of the most common causes of truck wrecks are driver fatigue, distraction, poor maintenance, and aggressive driving. Weather conditions can also play a role, as can poorly loaded cargo. It’s up to the truck driver to make sure they’re alert, their cargo is secure, and that the road is safe enough for them to drive. Fortunately, there are typically certain protocols in place that encourage safe driving, including breaks and drive-time limits. Still, truck-driver negligence is the most common cause of trucking accidents.
