NASHVILLE, TN / ACCESS Newswire / July 23, 2025 / Matthew Wright, managing partner of The Law Firm for Truck Safety's Tennessee office, has been elected Chair of the American Association for Justice's (AAJ) Trucking Litigation Group (TLG).

Wright, previously Chair-Elect, was chosen by his peers during the AAJ's Annual Convention. His election marks the continuation of his leadership in trucking litigation and his dedication to advancing roadway safety.

"It's an honor to be trusted with this role by my colleagues. Our work has never been more urgent, and I look forward to supporting our members and driving progress in truck safety," Wright said.

The AAJ TLG serves as a national resource for attorneys handling motor-carrier and owner-operator liability cases. With truck crashes resulting in more than 140,000 injuries and approximately 5,000 fatalities annually, the group's mission is to promote accountability and enhance roadway safety.

At The Law Firm for Truck Safety, Wright leads litigation involving complex trucking cases, including incidents linked to major e-commerce delivery networks. He is also the founder and co-chair of a national litigation group within the Academy of Truck Accident Attorneys, which trains attorneys handling cases involving outsourced delivery contractors.

Wright has presented on legal strategies for holding online retailers accountable and navigating liability in modern supply chain structures. In one recent case, he secured a $15 million recovery for the family of a truck driver killed in a crash.

His election follows the previous service of Law Firm for Truck Safety partners Michael Leizerman (2000-2001) and Andy Young (2023-2024) as TLG Chairs.

Wright's progression through leadership roles within AAJ TLG reflects his ongoing commitment to supporting attorneys and strengthening safety standards in the trucking industry.
