Call us today at (615) 823-8233 or fill out our contact form—we’ll respond promptly to discuss your rights and next steps.

Common Types of Truck Accident Cases We Handle in Clarksville

Our attorneys have extensive experience handling a wide range of commercial vehicle and trucking accident cases throughout Middle Tennessee. Here are some of the most common types of truck crash claims we take on:

Interstate and Highway Truck Accidents

I-24, Highway 79, and Route 374 see heavy truck traffic daily. Whether a driver was speeding, fatigued, or failed to stop in time, these high-speed collisions often involve multiple vehicles and complex liability issues. We understand how to investigate and pursue compensation in these cases.

Jackknife and Rollover Accidents

When a truck trailer swings out at an angle or rolls over, it can block multiple lanes and crush anything in its path. These accidents often stem from overloading, poor maintenance, or driver error. We hold all liable parties responsible—including trucking companies and maintenance providers.

Rear-End Crashes Involving Trucks

A fully loaded 18-wheeler can take more than twice the distance to stop compared to a passenger car. When truck drivers follow too closely or fail to brake in time, the results can be deadly. Rear-end collisions involving trucks often lead to spinal injuries, broken bones, and traumatic brain injuries.

Underride Accidents

These are among the most devastating types of truck crashes, occurring when a smaller car slides underneath a truck trailer. Federal regulations require underride guards, but not all trucks comply—or the equipment fails. We aggressively pursue justice in these tragic cases.

Accidents Caused by Driver Fatigue or Violations

Truck drivers are held to strict federal hours-of-service regulations. When companies push drivers beyond legal limits or fail to maintain proper logs, it can result in drowsy or impaired driving. We dig into driver logs, black box data, and company practices to uncover the truth.

How Our Clarksville Truck Accident Lawyers Can Help You

Trucking accidents are far more complex than typical car crashes. They often involve multiple layers of liability, including the driver, trucking company, cargo loaders, and insurance carriers. That’s why it’s critical to work with a legal team that knows how to navigate these challenges. Here’s how we help:

In-Depth Investigation and Evidence Gathering

We launch a thorough investigation to collect all relevant evidence, such as:

  • Police and accident reports
  • Witness interviews
  • Driver logs and employment records
  • Black box (ECM) data
  • Maintenance and inspection reports
  • Trucking company safety history
  • Surveillance footage or dash cams

We also consult with accident reconstruction experts to clearly demonstrate how the crash occurred and who is liable.

Full Accounting of Your Damages

We work closely with medical professionals and financial experts to assess both your current and future damages. This includes:

  • Emergency and ongoing medical care
  • Lost wages and reduced earning ability
  • Pain and suffering
  • Permanent disability or disfigurement
  • Property damage
  • Wrongful death (in fatal crash cases)

We leave no stone unturned in calculating the true value of your case.

Handling the Trucking and Insurance Companies

Trucking companies and their insurers act fast after a crash to minimize their liability. Their legal teams are trained to deny or devalue claims. That’s why you need your own advocates—experienced, aggressive, and focused on your best outcome. We take over all communications so you’re not pressured into a lowball offer or a quick settlement that doesn’t meet your needs.

Skilled Negotiation and Trial Preparation

We bring years of litigation experience to every truck accident case we handle. Whether your case settles or goes to trial, we build it as if it’s going before a jury. This signals to the other side that we’re serious—and often leads to stronger settlement offers. But if a fair offer isn’t made, we’re fully prepared to present your case in court.

Don’t Wait. Contact a Clarksville Truck Accident Attorney Today

If you’ve been hurt in a truck accident in Clarksville, don’t wait for the trucking company to act in their interest. Act in yours—by contacting GriffithLaw right away. Evidence can disappear quickly, and deadlines apply to file a claim. The sooner you call, the stronger your case will be.

Seek Medical Attention IMMEDIATELY

Seeing a doctor or going to the emergency room is the best way to get appropriate treatment for car accident injuries. It also provides documentation of the accident and how bad your injuries are.

Don’t Agree to a Settlement or Give a Statement

Sometimes, insurance companies like State Farm, Farmers, and Allstate will immediately make a settlement offer or start asking you to sign forms and give statements. If you don’t understand your rights and haven’t yet spoken to an attorney of your own, avoid giving a statement or accepting a settlement.

Keep Good Records

The more you document, the better prepared you will be to succeed. Get names, numbers, and photographs at the scene. Get a copy of the police report. Write down the names of any doctors you see. Keep pill bottles from any medication you are prescribed. Keep a journal with information about your recovery. All these little things can go a long way toward helping you win your case.

Be Careful What You Say About Your Car Accident

Even if it seems obvious that you are seriously hurt, the words you say to an adjuster, a company representative, the other driver, or even on social media can be twisted and used against you. Insurance companies have even taken seemingly irrelevant Facebook posts or family event photos to downplay victims’ claims. They have blamed people for having a “new accident” just for sneezing or lifting groceries or a bag of dog food. Be mindful of what you share with the insurance adjuster. Remember, he works for the insurance company and looks for any reason to reduce or deny your claim.
