Bicycle Accidents. A Driver's Mistake. A Rider's Life Changed.

What the road shows
matters as much as what is said.
Drivers often say a cyclist appeared from nowhere. Video, lighting conditions, lane markings, and physical damage frequently tell a different story.
We gather that proof early and build a case that does not depend on the driver's version of events.
-
Traffic and Security Video
Nearby cameras often capture what witnesses miss.
-
Vehicle and Bicycle Damage
Damage patterns show speed, angle, and point of impact.
-
Lighting and Visibility
Street lighting, reflectors, and sightlines at the time of the crash.
-
Witness Accounts
Independent witnesses can confirm what drivers deny.
-
Crash Reconstruction
Experts recreate the collision to establish fault and liability.
What can a bicycle accident claim include?
-
Medical and Future Care
Emergency treatment, surgeries, therapy, and ongoing care.
-
Lost Income
Missed work, reduced earning capacity, and future income losses.
-
Bicycle and Property Loss
Repair or replacement of your bicycle, helmet, and gear.
-
Pain and Permanent Limitations
Pain, suffering, and long-term impact on your life.
Every case is different. These categories are possible recovery, not guarantees.

Frequently asked questions
In Tennessee, people riding bicycles generally have the rights and duties of other vehicle operators on the roadway. The specifics depend on where and how the crash occurred.
Hit-and-run claims can still move forward. Video, witnesses, and physical evidence often help identify a vehicle, and your own coverage may apply.
Riding outside a marked lane does not automatically make a rider at fault. We look at the full picture of what each party did.
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis and you pay no attorney's fee unless we recover compensation for you.
