Questions about Tennessee Motorcycle Accidents

If you are a motorcycle rider who has been injured in a Tennessee motorcycle accident, you are probably wondering about many different aspects of your recovery--including how to pay (or who will pay) for all the damage that you suffered.

At the Hartsoe Law Firm, we would be glad to discuss your particular situation with you and answer questions such as

  • who will determine who was at fault in the accident?
  • should I talk to the insurance adjuster who has contacted me?
  • if both I and the other driver or drivers were partly at fault, can I still pursue compensation?
  • who will pay for my medical bills?
  • who will pay for the damage to my motorcycle?
  • if my injuries keep me from returning to work for a while, can I get compensation for my lost wages?
  • how long will it be before I receive any compensation?
  • do I have a limited time within which to file a claim, or can I wait?
  • should I accept a settlement offer from an insurance company?
  • if an insurance company has made me a settlement offer, how does that offer compare to settlements or awards in similar cases?
  • how much might my case be "worth"?

You should be aware that Tennessee does have a statute of limitations--in other words a law that cuts off the time period during which you can pursue compensation for your medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, and more. In addition, in Tennessee you can seek compensation even in a situation where you may have been partly at fault in causing the accident.

If you are related to a rider who lost his or her life in a Tennessee motorcycle accident, you will have a different set of questions. However, you, too, would have suffered very real damage, and you, too, will be facing financial consequences triggered by that loss.

Knoxville attorney Mark C. Hartsoe has spent decades fighting for the rights of victims injured in motorcycle accidents, as well as those of families seeking compensation for a loved one's wrongful death.

I was on my way to Atlanta and a huge truck rear-ended me and knocked me off the side of the road. I was scared. Didn’t know what to do. I tried working with the insurance company. They are just difficult to work with. I had to call somebody to take care of me. So, My brother told me to call Mark Hartsoe. As soon as I called Mark Hartsoe, he let me know real quick that everything was going to be okay and that he would take care of everything. And, he did. He got me a great settlement. He took the worry off of me. Mickey Anderson

I was hit coming home late at night by a drunk driver who took off. And the next day I was able to track down his vehicle and get the state police involved. At that point, a family friend recommended that I talk to Mark Hartsoe. Pretty much at that point, Mark handled the police, the insurance company and the guy who hit me. Settled with the actual person that hit me. Outside of that, everything came out great. Did not have to go to court. Got a great settlement. Got my car replaced. Got a check. Mark Hartsoe is my lawyer. Nate Holder

I was involved in a motorcycle accident. It was a head-on collision. I broke my arm, injured by knee. I was out of work for a long time and had medical bills, other expenses. A personal friend handed me a card for Mark Hartsoe. I called Mark Hartsoe from the side of the road and he took care of everything. My case was settled out of court. I received a great settlement. Bike was totaled, motorcycle was replaced. It was easy, painless. About as painless as something like this can be. This is why my lawyer is Mark Hartsoe. John Lusinger
