Nashville Motorcycle Accident Attorney

Tennessee’s scenery is beautiful and our numerous roads and highways are great places to ride. However, sometimes the ride for motorcyclists becomes a little more thrilling than they intended. Sadly, motorcycle accidents are very common in Tennessee, particularly in the warm weather months. As a result, many riders are injured or killed every year. Motorcycle accidents are often caused by negligent or reckless drivers in passenger vehicles. When the driver of a vehicle makes a reckless driving decision, such as pulling out in front of a motorcycle rider, the motorcycle is left with nowhere to go and the rider has almost no protection from the impending impact.

We know that motorcycle riders are often criticized by other motorists and many of them believe the mere fact of riding a motorcycle is risky behavior; however, reckless drivers who cause injury to motorcyclists should stop blaming the victims and accept responsibility for the deaths and injuries they cause. If you or a family member has been seriously injured in a motorcycle accident with another vehicle, you have the right to recover financial compensation. But, you need to know how to protect your rights, what the legal process entails, and you must understand why the accident occurred.

Causes of Serious Motorcycle Accidents in Tennessee

The reasons behind every accident are different, and it’s not always a simple matter to determine why the accident occurred, what the contributing factors were, or who was at fault.

Some motorcycle accidents have occurred due to a faulty motorcycle or safety equipment, debris lying on the road, or dangerous road conditions that should have been rectified. Regardless of how the accident occurred, all victims involved in motorcycle accidents will experience similar challenges in the aftermath of an accident.

However, it’s been our experience that motorcyclists are commonly killed or injured by drivers because they:

• Are distracted
• Are not looking out for motorcycles
• Ignore the rules of the road
• Don’t fully understand how our traffic laws apply to motorcyclists

Tennessee Motorcycle Accidents: The Rights of Victims

Fortunately, Tennessee law allows injured victims of negligent companies or unsafe drivers to seek financial compensation for their injuries and other losses.

Every case is individual, but compensation for motorcycle accidents might include:

• Current and future medical expenses
• Loss of wages and earning capacity
• Mental health treatment
• Pain and suffering
• Disability and disfigurement
• Changes in quality of life and emotional losses

If a reckless driver has caused a member of your family to be fatally injured in an accident, be aware that surviving family members have every legal right to seek compensation for their loss. Please contact us to discuss what losses may be covered in your particular case and the potential worth of your claim. You must understand that, even when it’s plainly obvious that the driver who hit the victim was at fault, victims of accidents are not automatically granted compensation. So, victims must take appropriate steps to preserve their rights following a motorcycle accident.

These steps include:

• Asking for and receiving medical attention as soon as possible
• Collecting as much information as you can at the scene of the accident
• Waiting to have your motorcycle repaired
• Avoiding signing anything and/or speaking with the insurance adjuster at all costs
• At the earliest opportunity, speaking with an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer in Nashville

These steps may seem obvious and simple, but they could very well protect you following a motorcycle accident. It’s important that you speak with an attorney immediately following a motorcycle accident in order to gain as much information as possible, as well as obtain legal support while you focus on your recovery.
