Tennessee is one of the country's great freight crossroads. Interstate 40 runs the length of the state as a major national trucking corridor, Memphis is one of the busiest logistics and distribution hubs in the world, and I-24, I-75, and I-65 add to the constant flow of tractor-trailers. A loaded commercial truck causes catastrophic damage in a collision, and a trucking company's insurer moves fast to protect itself. At Howe.Law Injury & Accident Lawyers, we take these cases on across Tennessee.
Tennessee's one-year deadline and the evidence that vanishes
Tennessee gives you just one year from the date of the crash to file a lawsuit under Tenn. Code Ann. § 28-3-104, one of the shortest deadlines in the country. In a truck case the most important proof is controlled by the trucking company. The truck's electronic control module, the driver's hours-of-service logs, and the dispatch records can be overwritten within weeks. We send a preservation demand immediately so that evidence is protected before it disappears.
Why a truck case is different from a car crash
Commercial trucks are governed by federal safety regulations covering driver hours, maintenance, and loading, and a violation of those rules often points straight to the cause of the crash. More than one party may be liable, including the driver, the trucking company, a separate broker, and the company that loaded the trailer, each carrying far larger insurance coverage than an ordinary driver. We identify every responsible party and build the case against all of them.
Tennessee's fifty percent rule
Under the rule from McIntyre v. Balentine, you recover nothing if you are found fifty percent or more at fault, and your recovery is reduced by your share below that line. Trucking insurers work to pin blame on the other driver, and we answer with the truck's own data, the logs, and reconstruction so fault is assigned accurately. The most seriously injured are treated at Tennessee's Level I trauma centers, including Vanderbilt in Nashville, Regional One Health in Memphis, the University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville, and Erlanger in Chattanooga.
Serving injured victims across Tennessee
Howe.Law represents injured clients throughout Tennessee, with offices in Nashville, Knoxville, and Murfreesboro. From the Memphis freight hub to the I-40 corridor and the mountains of East Tennessee, we serve people hurt in truck crashes anywhere in the state.
Reports, treatment, and filing your case
A truck crash on an interstate such as I-40, I-24, I-65, or I-75 is investigated by the Tennessee Highway Patrol, one inside a city by that city's police department, and one in an unincorporated area by the county sheriff. We obtain the correct report along with your medical records and file your lawsuit in the county where the crash occurred, in that county's Circuit Court.

Common questions
Why do you send a preservation letter so quickly after a truck crash?
A trucking company can lawfully overwrite electronic and log data on its normal schedule unless it is told to preserve it. A preservation demand puts the company on notice that the truck's data, the driver's logs, and the dispatch records must be kept, which protects the proof your case depends on.
Who can be held responsible besides the truck driver?
Depending on the facts, the trucking company, a broker who arranged the load, a maintenance contractor, or the company that loaded the trailer may share responsibility. We investigate the full chain so every liable party and every applicable insurance policy is part of the claim.
I was hurt in a truck crash far from your offices. Can you still handle it?
Yes. We handle truck cases across the entire state and file in the county where the crash occurred. Distance does not limit our ability to represent you or to pursue the trucking company in the proper court.
Cases We Handle
We represent injury victims across Georgia, Tennessee, and Mississippi in a wide range of accident and injury cases.

Richard was extremely helpful, and even though my case wasn't the best fit for his firm, he took extra time to give me direction and clarity to help me with the next steps... Far beyond what he needed to. I'm extremely grateful I contacted his firm.
