Regulations require commercial truck drivers to get appropriate rest between long stretches on the road. Despite these requirements, truckers sometimes bend the rules to meet deadlines—sometimes under pressure from their bosses. While there are many different types of truck accidents, driver fatigue may be a factor.

Navigating Tennessee Highway Truck Accident Claims
Trucks from all over the United States travel through Tennessee to deliver their cargo. Drivers are under pressure to reach a certain destination in the least possible time. To do this, they may exceed the speed limit, fail to slow in time when highway traffic has slowed down or stopped, or take drugs to stay awake for longer periods.
Trucking accidents often lead to extensive property loss and injury, including:
- Wrongful death
- Loss of limb
- Loss of vision
- Internal bleeding
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- Spinal cord injury or paralysis
