PODCAST: Have you or a family member been in a serious auto accident involving a tractor trailer truck? You should listen to this podcast featuring Tennessee attorney John Day. Hear why a recently filed appeal in a federal courtroom—stemming from a tragic tractor trailer wreck—could help or hurt your case, depending on how the law evolves.

In today’s episode of the WGNS Action Line, host Scott Walker dives into a potentially groundbreaking decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals in Cincinnati, Ohio. The ruling could have major implications nationwide, potentially requiring trucking and shipping companies to carry significantly more insurance when transporting goods on interstates, highways, and local roads.

Attorney John Day breaks down what this means for motorists, victims of trucking accidents, and the future of insurance requirements for commercial carriers. The case, which originated from a devastating accident that resulted in one death and serious injuries to a surviving spouse, may change federal policy—and even your legal rights—forever.

Listen as our guest also highlights past cases and explains how, in a serious accident, not only the trucking company but also a logistics company could be held liable for damages to the person or persons injured in the wreck.
