Motor Vehicle Accidents

Millions of Americans are involved in motor vehicle accidents each year. Many do not survive. Even minor car or motorcycle crashes can have serious results such as—

  • Traffic fatalities
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Brain injuries
  • Amputations
  • Broken bones
  • Neck injury
  • Back injury
  • Disfigurements

Some people mistakenly believe that lawsuits involving motor vehicle accidents are simple, everyday cases. In fact, injuries suffered in an auto or motorcycle accident can have lifelong medical, emotional, and financial consequences. If the accident was caused by someone else's negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for your—

  • Medical bills
  • Lost wages
  • Vehicle repairs
  • Pain and suffering

Tennessee allows up to one year for personal injury claims to be filed, but you should not wait that long. While it is in the best interest of insurance companies to resolve these cases quickly, it is rarely in your best interest. Uninsured or underinsured drivers may complicate matters even more. The sooner you contact a reputable personal injury lawyer, the better your chances are of attaining a fair verdict or settlement.

Auto accidents

Excessive speed. Inattentive driving. Failure to obey traffic signals or the rules of the road. There are numerous reasons why car crashes occur. In most cases, they boil down to the same point: driver error. If you were involved in a car accident caused by someone else, they may be liable for your injuries. Proving negligence, however, is not always easy.

Motorcycle accidents

Like any other vehicle, motorcycles can be dangerous. However, the design and structure of a motorcycle do not provide its driver or passenger much protection in the event of a crash. This leaves motorcyclists especially vulnerable to the actions of other drivers—specifically those operating passenger vehicles. In fact, one of the most common causes of motorcycle accidents is the failure of motorists to detect and recognize motorcycles in traffic.
