A Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Memphis Turns to in Hard Times

If you’ve been in a motorcycle accident that wasn’t your fault, you may be experiencing a lot of trauma, anger, and confusion. As a motorcycle accident lawyer Memphis has trusted for decades, I’ve seen it all.

Motorcycle accidents often come with catastrophic injuries and unseen mental anguish. When dealing with that kind of trauma, fighting with insurance will only make it worse and take your energy away from healing.

When going up against some of the biggest insurance corporations in the world, you simply can’t afford to go it alone. You need a caring and experienced team by your side to handle the legal battle and get you the compensation you deserve.

Our Memphis motorcycle accident firm handles every part of your injury claim, including:

  • Investigating your case
  • Strengthening your claim
  • Negotiating on your behalf for the highest amount
  • Preparing a case if necessary
  • Representing you in court, and
  • Helping you get what you need and deserve to recover.

Over the course of decades, we’ve established a reputation for the highest quality of work around. So here’s what sets our firm apart and makes us so special.

A Personal Injury Firm Committed to You

When it comes to picking the right personal injury firm, you want to consider their size and experience.

Some firms are simply too small to investigate your claim fully. You need the right resources to research and build a case. Our attorneys and support staff have everything you need to look into every detail, so you don’t miss out on valuable benefits.

On the other end of the spectrum, some of the biggest firms have the exact opposite problem. They might have every resource at their disposal, but they’re so big and bureaucratic that you can’t even get a return phone call.

Here at Darrell Castle and Associates, you enjoy all the dedication of a big firm with the personalized attention of a small one. We return your calls, answer your questions, and communicate every step of the way. We travel to you if your injury requires it. And we treat you and your loved ones with respect.

That’s how we’ve earned multiple Martindale-Hubbell awards for client satisfaction, an A+ from the Better Business Bureau, and a 5-star rating on Avvo.

You get all of that at no extra charge: we only win if you do.

So don’t wait to get started. Contact us today for a free appointment.

Darrell Castle downtown Memphis attorneyA Local Memphis Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Can Make All The Difference

Because our attorneys are local to Memphis and have worked in this field for decades, we have the knowledge to fight for you successfully. We know the law enforcement, court system, and geography of Memphis and the surrounding areas as well as anyone.

For example, a few years ago we had a motorcycle accident case on the Memphis bridge. Our client was sitting in traffic on the outside lane of the bridge when a car slid recklessly across every lane towards him. An 18-wheeler blocked him from view, and he had to choose whether to collide with the moving car or a wall.

Thankfully, our client recovered from his injuries. He reached out to us because of my years of experience in Memphis and my background in the Marines. I was immediately able to understand exactly what happened and where – I know that bridge very well.

Our local expertise and tenacity won that case for our client, and he left with enough benefits to get the health care he needed and help his family move on with their lives.

Those benefits aren’t just limited to medical expenses. They may also cover:

  • damage to the motorcycle
  • lost property, like equipment you were carrying
  • physical therapy
  • mental health services
  • lost wages
  • pain and suffering
  • punitive damages
  • and more

Our job is to make sure you get as much as you need to recover fully from the accident. That can mean a lot of things to a lot of people. As a result, we tailor every case to each individual client.

Memphis Motorcycle Accidents | Frequently Asked Questions

What is motorcycle accident law?

Motorcycle accident law is a type of personal injury law that deals with the aftermath of a motorcycle accident. It covers the rights and responsibilities of motorcyclists, the liabilities of other parties involved in the accident, and the legal framework for getting compensation for injuries.

This area of law often involves unique issues specific to motorcycle crashes, including a heightened vulnerability of riders and the potential for severe injuries.

What are common causes of motorcycle accidents?

Motorcycle accidents can occur for a lot of reasons, including:

  • driver negligence
  • road hazards
  • inclement weather, and
  • other drivers failing to see or yield to motorcycles.

Some accidents also have multiple causes. If you aren’t sure who was at fault, a motorcycle injury lawyer can help you understand your options.

What types of injuries are common in motorcycle accidents?

Motorcycle accidents can lead to a wide range of injuries, from minor road rash and fractures to more severe injuries like traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries.

If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident, no matter what the injury, you may be entitled to compensation and should speak with an attorney.

Can I file a lawsuit after a motorcycle accident, and under what circumstances?

You can file a lawsuit after a motorcycle accident as long as you can prove another party’s negligence or wrongful actions were responsible for the accident. This might include cases of reckless driving, distracted driving, or defective road design. If you aren’t sure if you have a case, speak with a motorcycle accident lawyer you trust.

What compensation could I win in a motorcycle accident lawsuit?

Compensation varies according to the accident, so every case is different. But damages can include a wide variety of losses you’ve experienced as a result of the crash, including:

  • medical expenses
  • lost wages
  • property damage
  • pain and suffering, and
  • in some instances, punitive damages if the at-fault person’s behavior was particularly egregious.

Do I need an attorney for a motorcycle accident case?

While you’re not legally obligated to have an attorney, it’s highly recommended. Motorcycle accident cases can be extremely complex and require high-level negotiations with major insurance companies. An experienced attorney will provide valuable guidance, gather critical evidence, represent you in negotiations, and advocate for your rights.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

In many jurisdictions, you can still pursue a lawsuit if you were partially at fault. It depends on the details of the accident and how much fault you may hold. Keep in mind your level of responsibility for the accident might impact the amount you receive in damages.

If you have any questions at all about who was at fault in your accident, our Memphis motorcycle attorneys can help through a free consultation.

How long do I have to file a motorcycle accident lawsuit?

The statute of limitations for motorcycle accident lawsuits varies by jurisdiction and typically ranges from one to three years from the date of the accident. In our home state of Tennessee, you have one year to file your claim from the time of the accident. For the best chance of success, you should find an attorney you trust as quickly as possible.

What should I look for in a motorcycle accident lawyer?

There are a few things you should always look for in a motorcycle accident attorney:

  • Does the firm have an outstanding reputation for client satisfaction?
  • Will they return your phone calls and keep you informed?
  • Do they make you feel heard and understood?

And you should also look at their other areas of practice. For example, if a big commercial truck caused your accident, does the attorney have the experience to take on the case? After all, truck accidents against motorcycles sometimes involve workers’ compensation and product liability laws.

As one of the leading attorneys in worker’s compensation and product liability in the Memphis area, I know how all of these laws interact. I can help you determine exactly who was at fault for your accident and why. And I can even help with disability and bankruptcy, which both come up at times in serious personal injury cases.
