Memphis is the FedEx World Hub and a top U.S. freight market. I-40 and I-55 carry constant tractor-trailer traffic, and Tennessee's one-year statute of limitations makes acting fast essential. That volume is good for the local economy — and devastating for anyone caught in a tractor-trailer crash on one of these corridors. Cross & York represents people seriously injured in semi-truck collisions throughout the Memphis metro, with deep familiarity with Tennessee law and the carriers that operate here.
