When should I talk to an attorney about a motorcycle accident?
You should always talk to an attorney about your motorcycle accident if you suffered personal injury or lost a loved one in the accident. Serious injury or loss can result in a significant economic and personal burden on you and your family—you should not have to bear it if someone else is responsible for your accident.
What should I do at the scene of an accident?
Follow the advice on what to do at the scene of a car accident.
Can I file a lawsuit even if I was not wearing a helmet during my motorcycle accident?
Yes, you can file a lawsuit even if you were in violation of Tennessee’s helmet laws at the time of the accident. If another person was responsible for the accident, you can still file a lawsuit, but your compensation may be reduced if your injuries are partly due to your failure to wear a helmet.
What compensation can I seek after a motorcycle accident?
After your motorcycle accident, you can seek compensation for economic and noneconomic damages due to your accident, including:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Disability and diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Diminished quality of life
The exact compensation varies depending on the circumstances of your case.
