The other side is calling, and you’ve been involved in an accident with a truck driving company.

Understand that in the state of Tennessee, only one party needs to know that a call is being recorded. I can assure you, when you hear these words, “These calls are being recorded for quality assurance purposes,” it’s not necessarily quality assurance. It’s recorded for a business purpose. That is, to preserve any statement that you made that could possibly help the trucking company or the insurance company.

It’s important to hire an attorney from the very beginning so that you have a liaison to work with the insurance company and the trucking company in order to protect your rights. I want to be that individual standing up – fighting the fight for you – to make sure that you are justly compensated for the wrongs that have been perpetrated against you.

What are the top causes of trucking accidents?

In my 25+ years of experience in litigating catastrophic tractor trailer accident cases, I can honestly say that the top cause of these type of cases in the East Tennessee area and throughout the Southeastern United States is excessive speed and distracted driving by truck drivers, possibly overworked, possibly distracted by electronic devices, or perhaps in a hurry to get home. All that being said, it’s very important that you get all of the information necessary at the scene, and that you employ competent legal counsel to make sure that that information is continually preserved so that there is no gap and so that the accident can be reconstructed.

I want to be that individual fighting and standing up for you. My name is T. Scott Jones. You can reach me at 865-546-2141, or banksandjones.com.
