18-Wheeler Accident Lawyer in Knoxville

If you or somebody you know has recently been injured in an 18-wheeler accident in Knoxville or East Tennessee, then the personal injury lawyers at Ralph Brown & Associates can help you recover damages. Our attorneys have over 40 combined years of experience representing the victims of accidents and negligence before insurance companies and at trial.

Trucks comprise a key component of intrastate and interstate commerce. Without trucks on our nation’s highways, many of the products that we find in our local stores—from groceries to electronics—would not be there. At the same time, due to their massive size and weight, trucks also represent a real threat to other drivers on the road.

Filing a truck accident lawsuit

Like other types of personal injury claims, filing a truck accident lawsuit involves demonstrating that the liable party behaved negligently. Negligence is a legal term for carelessness, or a failure to meet an expected duty of care. There are many possible examples of negligence for 18 wheeler accidents in Knoxville and not all of them have to be attributed to the operator of the truck. There are several possible liable parties for a truck accident:

  • The manufacturer of truck parts or equipment
  • The company leasing the truck
  • The agency which hired the truck driver
  • The owner of the truck
  • The jurisdiction responsible for the care and maintenance of roads

Naturally, assigning the liable party is based on the cause of the accident. However, the cause may not always be so clear and may involve a combination of factors. Contact an 18-wheeler accident lawyer in Knoxville at Ralph Brown & Associates to learn more about compensation for which you may be eligible. Acting quickly to secure an attorney could help you avoid costly mistakes.
