Reckless driving by car and truck drivers, can cause catastrophic injuries to motorcyclists. The at fault driver is liable for the injuries and damages that they caused. Many motorists fail to pay sufficient attention for motorcyclists which can result in series injury and death. Due to nature of motorcycles and the rider not being protected like other automobiles the outcome of an accident is often severe.
For a motorcycle accident claim to be successful, you need to prove that the other party was negligent. Often in motorcycle accident cases the at fault party and their insurer will try to demonstrate that a motorcyclist was partly responsible for the accident, thus reducing or eliminating their liability.
In Tennessee, someone who was injured in a motorcycle accident cannot recover damages if the other party can prove that the motorcyclist was 50% or more responsible.
It is our job to prove that the other party was at fault to ensure that you receive the compensation you are entitled too.
