Nashville Trucking Accidents
Craft & Sheppard, PLC | Attorneys at Law
Our firm has handled many personal injury claims for damages due to trucking accidents in Nashville and the surrounding area. Tennessee's capital is a hub for interstate trucking:
- Interstate 40 carries trucks across the state, from Memphis to Knoxville.
- Interstate 65 is the only highway connecting Birmingham, Alabama to Louisville, Kentucky.
- Interstate 24 brings trucks from Indiana through Nashville and Murfreesboro to Chattanooga.
All three of these major highways converge in Nashville, resulting in a dangerous number of commercial trucks attempting to share the local roadways. The situation is ripe for trucking accidents. In Murfreesboro, we see our share of serious truck crashes. In fact, Route 24 is only two miles from our office.
Trucking accidents in Murfreesboro and Nashville
Murfreesboro trucking accidents are especially common because truck drivers leaving Nashville are likely to feel that they are heading into the open road. The traffic thins out as a trucker gets south of the capital, and by the time a truck passes Rt. 810 in Murfreesboro the driver is nearly 30 miles out of the city. Highways exits suddenly appear with greater frequency, traffic quickly increases due to the size of Murfreesboro, and a trucking accident can easily occur.
