Tennessee Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Tennessee Motorcycle Rider and Accident Attorney

Throughout Middle Tennessee, many people know me from my criminal trial practice, but most don’t know I am a motorcycle enthusiast and that my law firm has over two decades of experience handling death and personal injury claims related to motorcycle accidents. By combining my skills with the expertise of my law partner Keith Williams, we are a powerful force to aid motorcyclists injured in accidents where other drivers are at fault.

Motorcycle Injury Lawyers Should Know How to Ride

It has been both my pleasure and honor to ride, work, and serve with the motorcycle community in Middle Tennessee. We in the biker community have been saddened and alarmed by the increasing number of motorcyclists injured or killed by negligent and impaired drivers. As a rider, it is a thought that never leaves your mind as you ride while watching out for everything and everyone else on the road. I have been in accidents and I know the pain and trauma of being injured in a bike wreck. But the hardest thing for me is to see is the aftermath of the death of a rider that was the result of a car or truck driver’s negligence. The anguish of their loss for their families and their biker brothers and sisters is hard to witness.

I don’t use catchy phrases to get your attention, but I do go the places you go, do the things you do, ride the places you ride, and care about people – especially my brothers and sisters in the biker community. Combining these attributes with a truly professional and local law firm, where you meet directly with me and my partners, allows us to help you and your family. I am a rider, a trial lawyer, and I am partnered with the finest personal injury lawyers in the state. If you need us, call and Frank Lannom Law Group will be there to help.

What are Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Tennessee?

As a biker myself, I know that people (including investigating officers and insurance companies) are biased against motorcyclists. That is truly a ridiculous prejudice, since we bikers know that we are going to lose in any wreck involving a car or truck. Because of this, most of us are well aware of the rules of the road and always on the lookout for people whose negligent driving could do us bodily harm – or even kill us. Some of the things I’ve personally seen that caused a biker injury, and sometimes cost them their life, are:

• Other vehicles swerving in front of a bike or cutting the bike off at intersections or tailgating a bike;
• Cars or trucks failing to follow posted speed limits or failing to yield when posted;
• Other motorists failing to see a motorcyclist changing or entering lanes and failing to pay attention to the road and their driving in general;
• Car and Truck drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs;
• Other drivers who fail to properly execute a left hand turn at intersections or into driveways thereby crossing a bikers right-a-way and leaving the biker no time to avoid the vehicle or to stop.
