If you’ve been seriously injured in a bicycle accident, you’re entitled to seek compensation for your losses. However, dealing with insurance companies can be overwhelming. Adjusters often offer lowball settlements in hopes that victims will accept less than they deserve. Our experienced attorneys are here to help you fight for fair compensation, including:
Cyclists often face significant medical bills after an accident, ranging from emergency care to ongoing treatments like physical therapy. We work to ensure your claim includes all past, current, and future medical costs.
A bicycle accident may force you to take time off work, using up valuable sick leave or vacation time. We’ll fight to recover compensation for the income you’ve lost—and may continue to lose—due to your injuries.
Bicycle accidents can result in emotional trauma, chronic pain, and reduced quality of life. While these damages are harder to quantify, our attorneys are skilled at documenting and advocating for fair compensation for your suffering.
If your injuries prevent you from enjoying activities you once loved, you deserve compensation for this diminished quality of life.
For families who lose a loved one in a bicycle accident, we fight to hold negligent parties accountable and recover damages for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and more.
Tennessee has seen a concerning rise in bicycle accidents in recent years. According to the NHTSA, there were 377 crashes involving bicyclists in 2018, resulting in eight fatalities and 344 serious injuries. Urban areas like Davidson County experienced particularly high rates of injury crashes.
These numbers highlight the importance of legal representation for cyclists injured by negligent drivers. Hiring an experienced bicycle accident attorney is the first step in protecting your rights and securing the compensation you need.
Motorists often fail to recognize the rights of cyclists on the road, leading to dangerous collisions. Our firm has extensive experience investigating bicycle accidents caused by:
Tennessee law requires motorists to give cyclists enough room, whether or not a designated bike lane is present. Drivers who fail to yield space can cause devastating collisions.
Speeding drivers are less likely to notice cyclists and have less time to react, increasing the likelihood of accidents and severe injuries.
Texting, adjusting the radio, or eating while driving can divert attention from the road, leading to collisions with cyclists.
Impaired drivers pose a grave threat to cyclists. Drunk or drugged driving often results in catastrophic injuries and can lead to punitive damages for the victim.
Many accidents occur when drivers fail to treat cyclists as equal road users at intersections, disregarding traffic laws and causing crashes.
In urban areas, “dooring” accidents—where a driver or passenger opens a car door without checking for cyclists—are a common hazard.
Even with proper safety gear, cyclists are vulnerable to severe injuries in collisions with motor vehicles. These injuries often include:
In tragic cases, these accidents can result in fatalities. A Tennessee bicycle accident attorney is dedicated to helping injured cyclists and their families pursue justice and financial recovery.
