Truck Accidents

Need an Injury Lawyer for Your Tennessee Truck Accident?

Across Tennessee, cars travel the 1,105 miles of interstate located in the state. Yet, cars are not the only vehicle traveling on these roads. Thousands of trucks also use the the interstates of Tennessee, delivering essential goods to stores and businesses throughout the state. These vehicles are essential to maintaining the state and the country’s economy.

The average semi-truck is 53 feet long, and it can weigh up to 80,000 pounds. Trucks of this size can easily travel between 45,000-100,000 miles in an average year. With its size in mind, a car accident involving a truck can be devastating to everyone involved. A truck’s huge size can cause much more damage than the average car traveling the roads of Tennessee. The impact of this truck can alter a victim’s life forever. If you or a loved one has been a victim of an accident involving a truck, Need an Injury Lawyer Tennessee can help.

Reasons that Truck Accidents Happen

Being a truck driver means long hours of driving across the country. This alone can sometimes lead to driver error due to fatigue. However, that is not the only reason for truck crashes. There are several scenarios in which driving on the roads with a truck can quickly become dangerous. These are just some of the reasons for accidents involving trucks:

  • Driver error – A truck has far more blind spots than the average car. If a truck driver is not diligent about checking all blind spots carefully, they can easily collide with cars that are in another lane of traffic.
  • Distracted driving – When you are driving for hours on end, it is easy to not be as aware of your surroundings as the average driver. A trucker’s schedule means that they are prone to this kind of distracted driving. Anything happening off of the road that may draw the attention of the driver could pull their focus away from the vehicle they are operating and cause them to be a part of a catastrophic accident.
  • Driver fatigue – Truck drivers spend hours in their truck, trying to get where they need to go. If they keep driving just a bit longer than they should, their fatigue could cause them to doze, taking their attention away from the 80,000 pound vehicle they are operating. This can lead to gigantic accidents, seriously injuring many other drivers on the road.
