Tennessee Truck Accident Attorneys
A study conducted by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety shows that more than 1,500 people are injured or killed each year in the United States as a result of "aggressive driving." Cases involving road rage and aggressive driving can be the result of truck driver negligence and trucking company negligence.
If a truck driver reaches an emotional state that makes it unsafe for them to be on the road, they should rest and seek help.
Trucking companies are responsible for performing background checks and medical evaluations for their drivers. Failure to screen job candidates could result in an emotionally unstable driver getting behind the wheel.
In many cases, road rage is accompanied by:
- Speeding
- Reckless driving
- Drug and alcohol abuse
- Driver fatigue
- Excessive lane changes
Our attorneys have successfully handled numerous truck accident cases and are adept at investigating the causes of truck accidents. If you have suffered due to road rage or aggressive driving, we are on your side.
