Tennessee Motorcycle Accident Statistics

Each one of these crashes represents potential negligence from the other parties involved and a potential personal injury claim. If you’ve been in a motorcycle accident, know that our team of experienced motorcycle accident attorneys has secured much-needed compensation for people just like you.

Proving Fault & Avoiding Comparative Negligence Claims

Determining fault in a motorcycle accident often depends on evidence that shows what the other driver did in the moments before the collision. The McMahan Law Firm can obtain the police accident report for you at no cost and investigate available evidence, including officer body-camera footage, dashcam recordings, traffic-camera or nearby surveillance video, witness statements, crash-scene evidence, and cell phone records in suspected distracted-driving cases.

When relevant, electronic data from the at-fault driver’s vehicle may also help show how the collision occurred. Depending on the vehicle and circumstances, that data may include speed, braking, steering, or other information from before the impact.

In Tennessee, the modified comparative negligence rule applies. This means that as long as you’re found to be less than 50% at fault, you may still recover damages. However, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you’re deemed 20% at fault, your total recovery is reduced by 20%.

This framework underscores the importance of proving fault and minimizing any blame assigned to you. Our legal team can help gather evidence, counter the other party’s claims, and work toward the best possible outcome in your case.

This is especially important because insurers may try to blame a rider for a crash. Our firm has a certified electronic data-retrieval expert in-house, allowing our team to act promptly when vehicle data may help clarify what happened. Because video footage and electronic data can be lost or overwritten, contacting an attorney soon after an accident may help preserve evidence that supports your claim.

The Insiders Know How Motorcycle Claims Can Be Turned Against Riders

Motorcycle claims can be difficult because insurance companies may begin with assumptions about the rider instead of the evidence. They may point to speed, lane position, protective gear, or a statement made after the collision to argue that the rider caused or contributed to the accident.

The Insiders recognize these tactics and know how quickly they can affect a claim. In Tennessee, blame assigned to a rider can reduce the compensation available, and being found 50% or more at fault can prevent recovery altogether.

Our attorneys work to keep the focus where it belongs: on what actually caused the collision. We use the available evidence to challenge unfair blame, address the insurer’s arguments before they harden into its final position, and make sure the rider’s injuries and losses aren’t dismissed because of stereotypes about motorcyclists.

Damages Recovered by Motorcycle Accident Victims

Victims of motorcycle accidents in Tennessee may be eligible to recover 2 main types of damages: economic and non-economic. Economic damages include tangible costs like medical expenses, damage to your bike or gear, and lost wages. These are calculated based on bills, receipts, and income documentation, making them straightforward to quantify.

Non-economic damages, on the other hand, cover losses that don’t have a direct monetary value, such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. Tennessee law places a cap on noneconomic damages at $750,000 per injured plaintiff, but in cases of catastrophic injury—such as paralysis, severe burns, or the wrongful death of a parent with minor children—this cap may increase to $1,000,000.

Punitive damages may apply in extreme cases involving gross negligence or intentional misconduct. These damages are capped at 2 times the compensatory damages or $500,000, whichever is greater. Exceptions exist for cases involving intoxication, criminal intent, or destruction of evidence, which may allow plaintiffs to seek uncapped punitive damages.

The outcome of your case will depend on the specific facts, evidence presented, and applicable legal standards. Our legal team can evaluate your claim and help you understand what types of compensation you could pursue.

I have had an extremely positive experience with The Mcmahan Firm. The person I had the most contact with was Missy the paralegal for my case. She was always available to answer any questions I had and kept in contact with me for any updates with my case. The attorney for my case Melissa was also keeping me informed on anything she needed or any updates to my case. Both of these two professionals constantly go above and beyond what I am sure their duties are to make sure that the client is never confused or feels like they are just another case for them. I feel no other firm would have represented me as well as they did and there are no words to accurately express how much i appreciate them. Thank you Missy and Melissa.

Following our serious automobile accident, our lives changed in and instant. We faced significant injuries, months of recovery and more uncertainty than we ever imagined. During that time, our attorney, Joe Hollis, and his paralegal, Laura Lang, carried a burden we could not have handled alone. Joe fought for us, kept our case moving and make sure our concerns were heard. Laura was always helpful, reassuring and available when we had questions. Having them in our corner allowed us to focus on healing instead of worrying about the legal process. We are deeply thankful for Joe and Laura, the dedication they showed throughout the past year and the outcome they achieved for us. We would confidently recommend them to anyone needing strong, thrust worthy representation after a serious accident.

I cannot say enough about the care, dedication, and hard work Joe and Laura put into my parents' case. Last year my parents were involved in a serious auto accident. To say it was an incredibly difficult and overwhelming year would be an understatement. Throughout it all, Joe and Laura worked tirelessly on my parents' behalf, kept us informed, answered our many (many, many) questions, and helped us navigate a situation we never imagined we would face. What meant the most to me was that they treated my parents like people - not simply another case. Their compassion, patience, and reassurance gave our family peace of mind during some very uncertain moments. I will always be grateful for the time, effort, and attention they gave my parents and for everything they did to bring their case to a successful resolution. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking such good care of my parents!! I would absolutely recommend this team to anyone needing knowledgeable, hardworking, and genuinely compassionate legal representation.

I did not always make it easy but the staff were patient with me and alleviated everyone of my concerns, even squelching some before I mentioned them. I would 10 out of 10 tell everyone to go to this law firm in lieu of going at the system themselves! I wish I had contacted them sooner.

I don’t usually take the time to write detailed reviews, but my experience with McMahan Law Firm—especially working with Melissa and Makenzi—truly deserves recognition. From the start, it was clear that this firm operates with a high level of professionalism and genuine care for their clients. Legal situations can be stressful and overwhelming, but they made the entire process feel much more manageable. Melissa was one of the first people I worked with, and she immediately stood out for her knowledge and communication skills. She took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I understood each step of the process. I never felt rushed or overlooked. Her attention to detail and commitment to doing things the right way gave me a strong sense of confidence and trust. Makenzi was equally impressive. She was always responsive, organized, and consistent in her communication. Whether I had a question or needed an update, she was quick to follow up and keep me informed. That level of responsiveness made a huge difference and removed a lot of the uncertainty that often comes with legal matters. She was also very approachable and easy to talk to, which made the experience feel more personal and less intimidating. Together, Melissa and Makenzi worked seamlessly as a team. Everything felt well-coordinated, and I always knew what was happening with my case. They handled each step with professionalism while also showing genuine concern for my situation. During more stressful moments, they remained calm, patient, and reassuring, which helped me stay confident throughout the process. What stood out most about McMahan Law Firm is their balance of expertise and personal attention. They don’t treat you like just another case—they treat you like someone whose situation matters. That level of care is hard to find and made a lasting impression on me. I would highly recommend McMahan Law Firm to anyone in need of legal assistance. If you have the opportunity to work with Melissa and Makenzi, you will be in excellent hands. Their dedication, communication, and professionalism made a difficult situation much easier to navigate, and I’m truly grateful for their support.

I am so greatful that the McMahan Law Firm and thier team, are NOT ambulance chasers, they are a group of dedicated attorneys, paralegals, investigators, court liaisons, and staff that don't just see or hear a " CHA CHING", or a " IT'S ALL PERSONAL TO ME", when you walk in thier door. They see " YOU", a human being, someone that they went to school for years to learn the LAW, to help "YOU", in your time of need. I will always be greatful to this firm and thier staff for the outstanding care and effort and time they put into my case to make sure " I ", was taken care of, not worrying about thier bottom line, but the care that you need is at the upmost importance to them, not the $ dollar sign, they are people with feelings, empathy, and most of all they really do CARE.

Choose Board Certified—Not Just Billboard

Advertising can make a law firm familiar, but it doesn’t tell you whether an attorney has demonstrated advanced qualifications in civil trial law. Board certification does.

Jay Kennamer, Brent Burks, and Herbert Thornbury are Board Certified Civil Trial Specialists through the National Board of Trial Advocacy. Board certification is voluntary and requires qualifications beyond those needed to practice law. Certification standards include substantial involvement in the practice area, peer review, additional legal education, and a written examination.

For an injured client, this distinction provides meaningful information when choosing a lawyer. It shows that an attorney’s civil trial knowledge and experience have been evaluated through an independent certification process—not simply described in an advertisement.

Why Trial Experience Matters Even If Your Case Settles

Many personal injury cases settle without a trial, but the strength of a settlement claim depends partly on whether the legal team is prepared to take the case further. Insurance companies evaluate the evidence, the damages, and the risk they would face if a lawsuit proceeds.

A board-certified civil trial attorney can prepare the case with that possibility in mind from the beginning. This may include preserving evidence, interviewing witnesses, documenting future losses, working with qualified professionals, and developing a clear account of how the injury changed the client’s life.

Board certification doesn’t guarantee a particular result. It does, however, help injured people identify attorneys who have met recognized standards in civil trial advocacy.

Common Causes & Injuries in Motorcycle Collision Claims

Motorcycle accidents often result from preventable actions or conditions. Here are some of the most frequent causes of motorcycle crashes:

  • Drivers failing to yield or merging without checking blind spots
  • Distracted driving, including texting or using a GPS
  • Speeding or aggressive driving by other vehicles
  • Unsafe road conditions, such as potholes or debris
  • Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Mechanical failures or defective motorcycle parts

These collisions can lead to serious injuries, many of which have long-term consequences. Below are some of the most common injuries riders may experience:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI), even with a helmet
  • Spinal cord injuries leading to partial or total paralysis
  • Broken bones, particularly in the arms, legs, and ribs
  • Road rash, which can lead to severe skin damage or infections
  • Internal injuries, such as organ damage or internal bleeding
  • Severe burns from contact with hot engine parts or road surfaces

If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident, let us help you explore your legal options and seek the compensation you need.

Cleveland, TN, Motorcycle Accident FAQs

Since every motorcycle accident case is different, there’s no standard settlement amount. Factors like the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, and impact on your ability to work all play a role. We’d be happy to discuss your potential compensation at no charge or obligation.

Motorcycle accidents have the potential to be much more serious than passenger vehicle accidents. Riders lack the protection of a car’s frame, airbags, and seatbelts, making them more vulnerable to severe injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and life-threatening internal injuries.

Motorcycle accident claims often involve unique challenges, including bias against riders, complex liability issues, and higher medical costs. Additionally, the injuries sustained in these crashes are often severe, leading to longer recovery times and higher compensation stakes.

At The McMahan Law Firm, we work on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. We only get paid if we recover compensation for you. During your free case review, we’ll explain what fees will be deducted from your settlement, so you’re never in the dark.

If the other driver lacks insurance, you may still have options. Tennessee law allows injured riders to seek compensation through their own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, if available. Our team can help you navigate this process to explore your best avenues for recovery.

The short answer: No. Before speaking with an insurance company or accepting any offer, contact us to consult with a motorcycle accident lawyer in Cleveland, TN. Insurance companies may pressure you into a low settlement or use your statements against you. Let us handle the negotiations to protect your claim.
