Motorcycle Accident

One mode of transportation that is unique is traveling on a motorcycle. Motorcyclists are able to experience freedom and exhilaration that is unparalleled by any other vehicle because there is no barrier between the rider and the exterior environment. Other motorists have a certain level of protection afforded to them by the exterior of the vehicle (car, truck, van, SUV), but motorcycle riders are completely exposed to the elements.

This exposure to the elements on a motorcycle allows the rider to feel the wind through their hair and get close to the road when other motorists are confined to the interior of their vehicles. However, the exposure that motorcycle riders experience also puts them at serious risk when it comes to being involved in a collision with another vehicle on the road.

Motorcycle Accidents in Tennessee Are Often Severe

If you were to talk to a motorcyclist, it is very likely that you will hear that person say that they love riding their motorcycle because of the freedom it affords them. They’ll likely mention their commitment to taking every
available precaution on the road to ensure their safety in case of an accident.

If a motorcycle collides with another vehicle, it is very likely that the motorcyclist will experience the very worst of the injuries because of the lack of a barrier around the rider. Other motorists have a substantial metal barrier between their bodies and the road and other elements of the environment. Because of this, accidents which involve a motorcycle are going to be disastrous for that motorcycle rider.

Without the metal barrier, the motorcycle rider will be at the mercy of the road and it is the duty of the protective gear and helmet worn by the motorcyclist to provide some type of protection. Despite the gear, injuries can be catastrophic, especially at high speeds and in
extreme situations.

Types of Motorcycle Accident Injuries

If you or a loved one has been involved in a motorcycle accident caused by another driver’s negligence, be sure to contact an experienced personal injury attorney to find out if a motorcycle accident lawsuit can be filed to fight for compensation for those injuries.

Because of the uniqueness of the motorcycle rider’s vulnerability during an accident with another vehicle, there may be a variety of extremely terrible injuries resulting from the accident. While other motorists can certainly sustain similar injuries, those sustained by a motorcycle rider are that much more devastating because of the exposed nature of the motorcycle riding experience.

Some of the common motorcycle accident injuries often sustained by riders involved in a crash with another vehicle include:

  • Road rash
  • Lacerations, cuts, bruises, scrapes
  • Burns
  • Broken Bones
  • Neck injuries
  • Head trauma
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Spine injuries
  • Amputations
  • Facial trauma
  • Internal bleeding
  • Paralysis
  • Death

Without the protective barrier provided by the vehicle, motorcyclists can experience these and other injuries to a more severe level. Hire OEB Law to help you navigate the challenges of a motorcycle accident case.

Why Hire an Experienced Attorney in Knoxville for Your Motorcycle Accident Lawsuit?

Personal injury law can be very complicated and confusing because the circumstances of the accidents are always different, and there are bound to be many different parties involved. When a motorcycle accident occurs with severe injuries, the injured motorcyclist needs to contact an experienced personal injury attorney to ensure that their best interests are always represented in and out of the courtroom.

No matter what the injuries may be, the injured motorcyclist needs time to heal and recover from those injuries. If the individual is trying to also deal with insurance companies and other parties hoping to get a quick settlement, that stress and anxiety is sure to build up and prevent the rider from focusing on their recovery. Rather than split your energy and focus, you can allow the attorney to deal with the insurance while you concentrate on healing.

If a family member was killed as a result of a motorcycle accident, the loved ones of that individual need time to deal with their loss, plan for the funeral, and find a way to move forward with their lives without their loved one. With the assistance of a skilled personal injury attorney, you can rest assured that you can focus on healing the family rather than fighting with insurance companies to pay for funeral expenses and other damages.

Another great reason to hire a personal injury attorney is to determine whether or not you are eligible to file a personal injury claim, gather all of the necessary evidence to develop a strong case, and fight for the compensation you deserve for all of your losses and damages. Our attorneys at OEB Law have plenty of experience dealing with motorcycle accidents, and we will use our expertise to your benefit.
