Company truck accidents in Memphis are not like ordinary car crashes. The legal and insurance issues become far more complex when a commercial vehicle is involved—whether it’s a delivery van, utility truck, construction vehicle, or an 18-wheeler. From navigating corporate liability to identifying multiple at-fault parties, these cases demand experience, resources, and a deep understanding of Tennessee and federal regulations.
At The Gold Law Firm, our Shelby County personal injury lawyers know what’s at stake when you’ve been injured by a company vehicle. Here’s why having an attorney with specific experience in these cases can make all the difference.
Company Truck Accidents Involve Complex Liability
One of the first challenges in a company truck crash is determining who is legally responsible.
Unlike standard collisions between two personal vehicles, liability in a commercial truck case may extend beyond the driver to include:
- The employer or trucking company.
- The vehicle’s maintenance provider.
- A third-party contractor or subcontractor.
- The manufacturer of a defective truck part.
A skilled attorney will know how to investigate these layers of liability to uncover every party that may owe you compensation.
Insurance Coverage Is Higher—But So Is the Fight
Commercial insurance policies with higher limits than personal auto insurance typically cover company vehicles. That means more compensation may be available for serious injuries, but the insurance companies have more to lose and will fight harder to avoid paying.
Truck accident insurers often respond quickly with aggressive adjusters, hoping to settle or shift blame to you. Without a lawyer experienced in trucking litigation, you risk accepting far less than your case is worth.
Federal and State Trucking Laws Matter
Commercial vehicles operating in and around Memphis are subject to a complex set of rules, including:
- Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR).
- Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) requirements.
- Company-specific safety policies.
Our experienced truck accident attorneys in Memphis know how to uncover violations like driver fatigue, lack of training, overloaded cargo, or inadequate vehicle maintenance—all of which may be critical to proving negligence.
Evidence Disappears Quickly—So Timing Is Critical
Trucking companies can legally dispose of key records, like driver logs, maintenance reports, or GPS data, after a specific period unless legal action preserves them. The sooner you hire an attorney, the sooner they can send a spoliation letter to ensure that vital evidence is not lost or destroyed.
