Across Nashville, TN Fighting for Victims of Truck Accidents

Truck accidents are far more complex than ordinary car crashes. The size and weight of commercial vehicles like 18-wheelers and delivery trucks make them especially dangerous, and victims often suffer catastrophic injuries. On top of that, trucking companies and their insurers are quick to deny fault, minimize claims, and drag victims through red tape.

That's where we come in.

Extensive Experience in High-Stakes Trucking Cases

At Schwed, Adams & McGinley, P.A., we bring over 200 years of combined litigation experience to every case. We've recovered more than $500 million for clients across Tennessee and beyond, and we're proud to take on the cases that other firms often reject. From crashes involving semis on I-40 to delivery van collisions on local roads, our Nashville truck accident attorneys know how to get results.

Why Trucking Accidents Are Especially Complex

Truck accident litigation isn't just about proving someone ran a red light. These cases involve layers of regulations and corporate responsibility. In addition to Tennessee traffic laws, commercial trucking companies must comply with federal rules issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Violations of these rules—such as skipping mandated rest breaks or failing to maintain brakes—can cause deadly crashes.

Truck accidents may also involve:

  • Multiple responsible parties, including the truck driver, the carrier company, contractors, and cargo loaders
  • Large corporate insurers with extensive legal resources
  • Black box data, dash cam footage, and GPS tracking logs
  • Tampered or falsified driver logs

Our Nashville trucking accident lawyers dig deep to uncover violations and hold everyone accountable. We don't just file claims—we build airtight cases with the evidence needed to win in court.

Leading Causes of Truck Crashes in Nashville

Our firm regularly investigates truck crashes caused by:

  • Distracted or drowsy driving
  • Speeding or aggressive merging
  • Improperly secured cargo or overloading
  • Equipment failure due to poor maintenance
  • Drivers under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Inadequate training or supervision

Interstates like I-24, I-40, and I-65 see heavy commercial traffic, especially through Davidson County. But crashes can also happen in neighborhoods, shopping centers, or rural roads. Regardless of where it happened, our attorneys can help.

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)

  • Severe burns and internal organ damage
  • Complex fractures and chronic pain

The road to recovery is often long and expensive. A Nashville truck injury lawyer from our firm will work with medical providers, life care planners, and economists to calculate the true cost of your injuries and demand full compensation.

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.
