Motorcycle Accident Injuries
Determined Johnson City motorcycle accident attorneys ready to fight for you
Motorcycle riders often sustain severe injuries in accidents. They ride a few inches from the pavement. They have little protection other than helmets and durable clothing. Even if not life-threatening, a motorcycle accident injury may leave a person unable to work, drive, live independently, or support his or her dependents. While motorcycle riders can be struck down through no fault of their own, insurance companies may try to blame the biker based on the inherent risks of riding. We know how to fight hard for clients to get them what they deserve: Call an aggressive Johnson City motorcycle accident lawyer today at (423) 464-7779.
Types of injury from a motorcycle accident
While statistics indicate that wearing a helmet can reduce fatality rates from a motorcycle accident injury by nearly 70%, there still is a significant degree of risk associated with riding. As Tennessee motorcycle accident attorneys, we understand riders. We know they ride defensively. But a distracted driver or someone who is operating recklessly can cause a serious accident in an instant, despite a cautious rider’s best efforts. When another driver’s negligent behavior contributes to the accident, Tennessee law permits motorcycle accident injury victims to pursue compensation for the extent to which the other driver was at fault.
