I was recently seriously injured in a Tennessee semi-truck accident. The investigating police officer said it wasnt my fault. I need help paying my expenses. Who can I sue?

Being involved in a Tennessee semi-truck accident can be one of the scariest events in your life. Because of the sheer size of the truck, serious, life-threatening injuries are the norm for those in passenger cars. There are several ways your case can be prepared.

First, you can bring a claim against the truck driver if he or she made a mistake while driving that caused your accident.
You can also sue the owner of the truck and/or the trailer it was pulling.
If the truck or trailer was leased, you can bring suit against the company or person who leased it.
If the accident was caused, or made more serious, because of equipment or tire failure, the manufacturer can be held liable.
Finally, if the cargo the truck was hauling caused your injuries in some way, you can also sue the loader or shipping company responsible for the loading of the truck.

Unfortunately, many truck accidents end in a battle between the companies involved in the leasing, hauling and trucking of the rig. Each one wants the others’ insurance companies to pay.

This can leave you smack dab in the middle of a big mess as one group points the finger at the other. To be sure you get the best representation for your truck accident claim, you will need to find an experienced advocate.
