Motorcycle Accident Attorney in Nashville

Motorcyclists have little protection from the elements and other vehicles; therefore, injuries sustained in an accident can be serious and life-threatening and may include the following:

• Bone fractures;
• Spinal cord injuries;
• Brain damage;
• Loss of limbs;
• Death;
• Severe head trauma;
• Neck injuries
• Disfigurement; and
• Paralysis.

The Motorcycle Lawsuit Process

The Investigation

During the investigation, your attorney will collect evidence to help demonstrate that the other party was negligent in causing the crash. A driver may be acting negligently if he or she:

• Swerves in front of a biker;
• Cuts off a motorcyclist at an intersection;
• Exceeds the posted speed limit;
• Fails to yield when appropriate;
• Tailgates;
• Drives under the influence;
• Turns left into a motorcyclist’s path; and
• Fails to be aware of their surroundings.

Your attorney may gather proof of the other party’s negligence by:

• Reviewing Nashville police reports and photographs;
• Collecting witness statements;
• Establishing you followed all motorcycle regulations;
• Analyzing medical reports with medical experts to establish your injuries and how they were most likely
• Recreating the crash with the assistance of accident re-creationist specialists.

Evaluating and Determining Damages

In handling your motorcycle accident lawsuit, your attorney will determine the types of compensable damages you sustained as a result of the accident, and the amount of compensation you will need to cover your losses. Damages include, but are not limited to, the following:

• The cost of medical treatment for injuries;
• Lost wages, if the victim is temporarily or permanently unable to continue working;
• Property damages, such as the cost to repair or replace the motorcycle;
• Pain and suffering; and
• Punitive damages.
