Why Truck Accident Cases Are So Complex

Unlike ordinary vehicle collisions, truck crashes involve a web of state and federal regulations. Trucking companies must follow rules set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), which govern everything from driver rest breaks to maintenance and cargo standards. When these regulations are violated, tragedy often follows.

A Memphis trucking accident may involve:

  • Multiple parties, including the driver, the trucking company, the maintenance provider, or cargo loaders
  • Federal safety violations and falsified driving logs
  • Electronic data from black boxes, GPS systems, or onboard video cameras
  • Defense teams hired by large corporations and their insurers

Our legal team has the investigative skill and technical resources to handle these complexities. We build every case from the ground up—with trial in mind.

Leading Causes of Truck Accidents in Memphis

Some of the most common causes of trucking collisions in Memphis include:

  • Drowsy or distracted drivers
  • Speeding or reckless lane changes
  • Overloaded trailers or unbalanced cargo
  • Poor maintenance or brake failures
  • Drivers under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Inadequate driver training or supervision

Crashes often occur on Memphis highways like I-240 or along commercial corridors such as Lamar Avenue. Regardless of where it happened, our attorneys are ready to investigate and pursue accountability.

Dear Schwed Law Office.

After speaking with Schwed Law, I felt she gave me hope. The minute I gave them my accident report, I was confident I was going to be taken care of. My personal injury left me in a lot of pain. I was frustrated and exhausted. I had horrible headaches, neck and shoulder spasms and many restless nights. This impeded special outings and meetings with family and friends. I knew the bills were going to be taken care of. So I just focused on getting treated for my injury and feeling better. I never once had to call to follow up on anything.

I was so impressed with how fast my case was settled. I am so grateful for how I was treated and cared for. I highly recommend the offices of Schwed Law. Their professionalism and expertise were enough to put me at ease with all my questions and concerns from the beginning.

He was protective, well prepared, thorough, convincing, and always accurate. Mr. McGinley did everything he promised and more. He comforted me when I was worried and fought hard for me. Thanks for your excellent representation.
