Biography

Patrick A. Cruise is Board Certified in Truck Accident Law by the National Board of Trial Advocacy, and has been rated by Mid-South Super Lawyers as one of the top plaintiff’s personal injury lawyers in Tennessee. He focuses on serious injury and death cases, including wrecks involving tractor trailers, trucks and other commercial vehicles, as well as car wrecks and premises liability cases. He is a member of the Academy of Truck Accident Attorneys, and has earned Martindale Hubbell’s highest peer rating standard of AV Preeminent. He is licensed in Tennessee, Georgia and Louisiana. During his career as a trial lawyer, he has recovered over $40 million in compensation for injury victims and their families, while always adhering to the highest professional and ethical standards. He combines an aggressive approach to the investigation and pursuit of justice for his clients, with compassion and understanding for the difficulties faced by those struggling with the loss of a loved one, those facing months of rehabilitation after a bad injury, those facing mounting medical bills, and those facing a lifetime of disability and loss of capacity to earn a living.
