Truck Driver and Trucking Company Liability
Our lawyers can pursue maximum compensation after a truck accident
A trucking company may attempt to avoid truck accident liability by contracting drivers independently instead of hiring them as employees. If an accident occurs, truck company attorneys may argue that the negligent driver is at fault, not the company they represent. This is just one of many complexities in an accident case involving truck driver and trucking company liability — we’ll help you get to the bottom of it and fight hard for the full settlement you deserve.

Sorting out complicated insurance policies and legal liability issues
Another tactic a trucking company may use to shield itself from truck accident liability is using a third-party logistics company to broker transportation service. This further removes the truck company from the conduct of the individual commercial truck driver. We will investigate every detail to reveal the truth and hold the appropriate parties responsible.
This includes examination of:
- Trucking company hiring practices and background checks
- Truck driver logs recording the total number of hours they are on the road
- Trucking company maintenance records
- History of any past safety violations, on or off the road
- The conduct of parties responsible for safely loading whatever is being hauled
- The truck’s “black box” that records speed and other factors

I cannot recommend Mac Meade highly enough. Facing a criminal charge is incredibly stressful, but from our very first meeting, he made me feel heard and respected. He never once judged me for my situation; instead, he focused entirely on how to help me. He is a fierce advocate who provided calm, expert guidance and secured a very favorable outcome.

"Best lawyer that you could ever ask for."
Mac is the best lawyer in East Tennessee. He done everything he said he would. It's hard to find a lawyer that will do what they say they will do. He got my charges dropped you couldn't ask for a better man. Thank you Mac.- James -
The first thing that struck me about Mac was that he is very prompt about getting back with you on emails or phone calls. I met with him and he was very attentive and made me comfortable immediately by just the way he talked and reassured me.- Dianne
