Motorcycle Accident Attorney Chattanooga

Motorcycle Accidents Overview

There is nothing that compares to riding on a motorcycle. Unfortunately, motorcycles offer little protection from other drivers. They don’t have seat belts or shoulder harnesses and the rider is vulnerable to a direct hit on the legs and hips or being thrown off the bike itself. motorcycle accidents can result in bicycle or serious injuries such as catastrophic burns, broken bones, traumatic brain injury, neck & back, and spinal cord injuries.

Experienced Chattanooga motorcycle accident attorneys Tricia Dennis and Russell King are avid fans of motorcycles, but they realize how serious motorcycle accidents can be. In most cases, motorcycle collisions happen due to the gross negligence of other drivers. Usually, the other driver fails to see the motorcyclist. That doesn’t qualify as an excuse under the law in any state.

Motorcycle accidents usually occur due to several hazardous situations, including:

• Bad weather can impair a motorcyclist’s braking or handling capabilities. Wet or icy roadways can seriously impair his ability to control a bike.
• Motorcyclists may have difficulty seeing potholes, train tracks, fallen branches or oil spots. Debris that has fallen from another vehicle can force a biker to weave or brake suddenly.
• Negligent car drivers injure many motorcyclists when they take a left turn in front of the motorcyclist. This is particularly dangerous at intersections with no left turn signals.
• Windy conditions can make a motorcycle very difficult to control. Even the gusty breezes caused by a passing truck can jerk a motorcycle across the road.
• Car drivers often don’t see motorcycles when they are in a long line of traffic. It’s easy to become invisible when you’re in a vehicle’s blind spot. Collisions occur while changing lanes.

Do Not Rely On Insurance Companies

Do not accept any claim before you speak with an attorney. Many large insurance companies have adopted settlement policies that encourage their adjusters to offer quick payments to persons involved in a motorcycle accident. Insurance adjusters will contact you or your family shortly after a motorcycle accident to try to gain your confidence. In doing so, insurance adjusters often try to present themselves as the friend of the injured person or the family of the person who was killed in an accident. The goal of such contact is to settle the case on terms as favorable as possible for the insurance company.
