Jackson Truck Accident Lawyers
When accidents involving motor vehicles occur, those impacted are often left to cope with the resulting physical, personal and financial costs.
At Spragins, Barnett & Cobb, PLC, we believe that fighting to help victims of motor vehicle accidents recover compensation is about more than just recovering a certain dollar amount – it’s about helping individuals regain control over their lives and futures.
We represent personal injury victims who have suffered injuries in motor vehicle accidents, including:
- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Bicycle accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Bus accidents
In the wake of a motor vehicle accident, an individual must not only attempt to cope with and overcome physical pain but also significant financial pains associated with vehicle repair costs, medical bills and lost wages. While many assume that their insurance company will cover or reimburse for these expenses, in reality, insurance providers are often more concerned about maximizing profits and routinely attempt to reject or settle claims for a low amount.
Our attorneys are skilled negotiators who fight to recover the maximum amount of compensation for motor vehicle accident victims. In cases where it benefits clients, we don’t hesitate to take a case to trial.
Advocating For Truck Accident Victims
Situated between the metropolitan hubs of Memphis and Nashville, our Jackson law firm is surrounded by heavily traveled roadways, including Interstate 40 and U.S. Highways 45, 70 and 412. These roadways serve as busy travel routes for many local, state and national commercial trucking companies.
When large trucks are involved in accidents with personal vehicles, occupants in those smaller vehicles frequently suffer devastating injuries. Often, these types of accidents and cases are complex with multiple contributing factors.
Our attorneys apply their deep knowledge of the trucking industry with thorough investigative techniques to benefit clients.
Common Causes Of Tennessee Trucking Accidents
The roads in West Tennessee are heavily traveled by large trucks and other commercial vehicles. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for accidents involving these trucks to happen, and when it does, the results can be catastrophic for the people in the other vehicle.
There are many reasons that semis and other trucks cause accidents on our highways, interstates and city streets. Some of the most frequent causes are:
- Driver fatigue
- Driver error
- Lack of driver experience or training
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Speeding or driving recklessly
- Distracted driving
- Defective truck parts
- Faulty brakes or steering
- No maintenance was performed on the truck
- Improperly loaded cargo
- Poorly maintained roadways
One of the complex parts of a trucking accident case is that, due to the many people and factors involved, there may be more than one negligent party. When we investigate your truck accident, we will sort out who is liable for your injuries and other losses.
