To remain steadfast under the trials that follow involvement in a car accident, you need experienced and faithful legal counsel who can help you stand the test. At the Law Office of Stanley A. Davis, we will not only treat you with the utmost compassion, but we will also try to secure all compensation to which you are entitled. His extensive experience in all types of Nashville vehicle accident law has made Nashville car accident lawyer Stanley A. Davis familiar with every type of accident, including:

• Rear-end collisions. While these types of accidents are certainly the most common and the least fatal, minor damage at the scene does not necessarily equate to minimal injury suffered. Rear-end collisions are frequently known as “whiplash accidents” because of the predominant injury suffered, but there can oftentimes be further pain and suffering involved. Even if you did not experience any discomfort at the scene of the accident, it is still crucial that you speak with a Nashville car accident attorney as soon as possible to begin documenting all the specific external factors that could have contributed to the car crash, such as the weather, road conditions, vehicle conditions and the speed involved.
• Head-on collisions. Any number of scenarios can cause these serious and often fatal car accidents, including: poor passing judgment, wide right turns, left turns made into the path of another vehicle, failure to follow road signs, speeding or overcorrecting after going off the road. Additionally, sudden obstacles such as construction, pedestrians, bicyclists, animals, debris or even another car suddenly pulling out from a blind spot can lead to a head-on collision.
• Underride or override accidents. These are typically truck accidents that can also lead to injuries and fatalities. In an override, the front end of the semi typically runs over the vehicle in front of it, usually because of either brake failure, tire blowout, tailgating, speeding, improper maintenance, driver fatigue or a possible combination of those situations. In an underride scenario, the car slides under the semi possibly because of the truck backing across traffic lanes, failing to maintain a safe distance from other vehicles, lack of appropriate underride guards, non-functioning lights, missing reflective tape or a combination of the aforementioned circumstances.
• T-bone or jackknife accidents. Also known as “broadside collisions,” the damage and occupant injury rate can vary but can also involve other multiple vehicle collisions. A failure to yield right of way or obey traffic signals can cause these types of wrecks.
