Nashville motorcycle accident statistics
Serious injury and fatal motorcycle accidents are trending upward, both throughout the nation and here at home in Nashville. These crashes can result in devastating physical injuries and financial losses—and because motorcycles lack the exterior protection of an enclosed vehicle, motorcyclists are typically the ones who bear the brunt of the injuries and damages.
Are you dealing with catastrophic injuries or grieving the loss of a loved one due to a motorcycle crash caused by another person’s or company’s negligence? If so, you’re not alone.
Below, our skilled Nashville motorcycle accident lawyers provide a brief look at national and state motorcycle accident statistics and explain how the experienced and insightful legal team at Weir & Kestner Injury Lawyers can help you explore your options for compensation if you were hurt in a crash you didn’t cause.

How an attorney can help if you were hurt in a motorcycle crash you didn’t cause
Accident and injury litigation can be confusing, stressful, and time-consuming. This is particularly true of motorcycle crash insurance claims and lawsuits. Often involving catastrophic injury and damages, which can translate to sizable settlements or financial awards, motorcycle accidents aren’t your typical fender-bender cases that can be resolved quickly and fairly. Instead, you can expect significant pushback from the at-fault party’s insurer or lawyer and may even face unfair bias against motorcyclists.
Hiring a knowledgeable and experienced motorcycle accident lawyer can level the playing field and lift the weight of litigation off your shoulders. Whether you were injured or lost someone you loved in a motorcycle crash, Weir & Kestner Injury Lawyers can help you investigate your right to recovery, gather essential evidence, value your damages, banish unfair bias, and much, much more.
As former attorneys for big insurers, we know how these companies assess and value claims. Depending on your case, we could help you recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages and earning capacity, out-of-pocket costs, physical pain and suffering, mental distress, scarring or disfigurement, and other losses.
