Commercial trucks are a common sight alongside passenger cars on Tennessee’s streets and highways, and it’s scary to think about the destructive power of these vehicles when something goes wrong on the road. The drivers and companies who operate heavy commercial trucks have some responsibilities to the public to make sure these trucks are both safe to operate and operated safely.

What Makes Truck Accidents So Different From Passenger Car Accidents?

Accident victims face many difficulties after they are hurt, but the victims of commercial truck accidents often also have to deal with much more complicated legal claims for their injuries. Franklin, TN truck accident cases can be very different from passenger car cases because:

Heavy trucks do a great deal of damage 

Most commercial trucks are much larger and heavier than a typical car. When they collide with smaller vehicles, the occupants of the car are often catastrophically or fatally injured. The severity of truck accidents and the high costs of treating the serious injuries that result mean that both victims and trucking companies have more to lose. 

Trucking companies and professional drivers are involved

 Commercial truck accidents, however, may involve professional drivers, trucking companies, their insurance companies (e.g. Progressive, Nationwide, Geico), their in-house attorneys, and more. This puts one regular person or family up against many parties who are more experienced with the legal process and have a lot on the line if the victim is successful with an accident claim.

It becomes even more important to protect your rights after a truck accident.

While cases involving tractor-trailer wrecks or reckless delivery vans may be much more complicated than typical car accident claims, there is a little bit of a silver lining for victims who have suffered extreme losses. In Tennessee and many other states, truckers and trucking companies also have higher insurance limits, which mean that victims may be able to receive more in damages than in a typical car accident claim.

What Kinds of Compensation Are Available to Franklin, Tennessee Truck Accident Victims?

The compensation available to injured victims is usually broken down into many specific categories, which then must be “proven” during the legal process with documentation and evidence. Typically, truck accident claims include potential compensation for:

  • Medical bills
  • Lost wages and earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional trauma
  • Expected future needs
  • Other losses

Unfortunately, trucking companies and their insurance companies are experienced in protecting their own interests. Although many victims have rights to seek compensation under the law, they can’t rely on these companies to meet their needs and pay the true worth of their claims. This is why it is so important to have a knowledgeable and experienced representative of your own if you or a family member has been hurt in a Tennessee truck wreck. Fortunately, it is easy to get skilled help on your side with GriffithLaw.
