Why Accidents on I-240 Happen So Often

As Memphis’ beltway, I-240 crosses through some of the busiest areas of town. It’s vital for regional transportation, commuters, and local traffic. Whether going to the airport, the suburbs, or downtown, I-240 can get you there. 

As a result, nearly everyone in Memphis uses this thruway, and it gets very busy.

When it comes to accidents, some areas tend to be more dangerous than others: 

  • Rushing commuters and poor planning make for a lot of accidents at the I-240 and Walnut Grove exit. 
  • The sheer volume of traffic on Poplar makes the Poplar Avenue exit especially risky.
  • And the stretches from Perkins to the airport and near Walnut Grove have an ongoing problem with drag racing

All of these examples put additional risk on motorcycles, which drivers often ignore or don’t see in a rush or in the confusion of traffic. 

Who’s at Fault for Motorcycle Injuries on I-240

As with any traffic accident, it can be hard to know exactly who’s at fault in a motorcycle crash. But unlike your typical fender bender, these can be catastrophic situations. I-240 has some of the fastest driving in Memphis, and motorcycle drivers are far more susceptible to injury. 

Generally when determining fault, insurance companies and personal injury attorneys look at evidence from the scene, including any photos the drivers, witnesses, or police might have taken. They look at testimony from anyone involved, including law enforcement and people who saw the crash happen. And they’ll inspect the damage to the vehicles and drivers. This all helps make sure the proper person is compensated correctly for their losses.

If the insurance company refuses to pay, an experienced attorney will do the work to represent you and prove your case. 

Most motorcycle accidents are considered civil cases. However, in some instances, they may also be a criminal matter. 

For example, the Memphis mayor has recently expressed concern about drag racing on I-240. This has been an ongoing problem that increased in recent years. It’s illegal and extremely dangerous; and if it causes a motorcycle accident, the person may be held criminally liable on top of financially responsible. 

DUIs are another common example. If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident because someone else drove under the influence, you’ll likely want compensation as well as a criminal process to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
