What Is the Statute of Limitations in Tennessee?

In Tennessee the injured party has up to one year from the date of the initial accident to file a claim. It's important to reach out to an attorney to discuss your options for recovery. In many personal injury cases and truck accident cases there may be important evidence from the scene of the accident that can help in your case.

Photographic evidence or witness statements may be helpful in making your case if your case goes to court. By contacting an attorney shortly after your accident you may be able to better understand your options for recovery.

What Are Common Causes of Semi-Truck Accidents?

The leading cause of truck accidents is driver error. Although a semi truck driver should be properly trained, they often drive very long hours and it's not uncommon for truck drivers to drive while they are exhausted. Driving while tired can lead to driver error, causing an accident.

Other causes of semi truck crashes include:

• Maintenance Issues. Large semi trucks are driven thousands of miles at a time and need to be regularly maintained. A poorly maintained semi truck can quickly lead to disastrous situation.
• Defective Parts. Even if a semi truck driver does regularly maintain their vehicle, it's possible that a defective part can cause equipment failure. In this case, your accident attorney can help you determine if you have a case against the manufacturer.
• Shifting Cargo. If the large loads of cargo that semi trucks are designed to carry is loaded improperly, then it can easily shift or spill out, creating a dangerous situation. The semi truck may tip over or fish tail, causing a dangerous and potentially deadly accident.
