Trucking Accidents

Getting to the Facts of Your Truck Accident

Representing clients injured in trucking accidents requires a hands-on, proactive approach. At the Elkin Law Office in Nashville, Tennessee, we have the knowledge, experience and diligence to maximize compensation for our clients who were severely injured or have lost a loved one in a trucking accident.

Former Insurance Defense Litigator Handling Your Truck Accident Case

Attorney Julie-Karel Elkin established our firm after a lengthy tenure as an insurance defense litigator. She knows what facts insurance companies fear and how they handle personal injury claims. She also recognizes that truck accidents must be treated with a sense of urgency. This insight and experience has benefited our clients injured due to a negligent truck driver.

Building Your Truck Accident Case

At the Elkin Law Office, we quickly take that first step and contact the trucking company to prevent the destruction of any documentation or evidence. That includes everything from logbooks to data from satellite and computer systems. Today's technology allows us to see how fast a truck was going on impact and how long it took the truck to stop. We also analyze a trucking company's insurance policy to assess their coverage on catastrophic claims. Often times, they are required to carry large policies to protect other people on the roads.

Challenges of Truck Accident Cases

Our insight helps us identify the responsible party. Many times, a maze of contracts and subsidiary companies try to stand in the way of getting to the facts. We can navigate through that confusion to get to the facts. Trucking companies can be even less forthcoming in having the negligent truck driver testify. Facts that the company does not want revealed can come to light through aggressive questioning.
