Broadside Motorcycle Accidents

Memphis Attorneys Assisting Motor Vehicle Wreck Victims

When someone refers to an accident as a “broadside accident,” they are talking about a collision in which the front of one vehicle impacts the side of another vehicle, similar to a T-bone collision. Broadside accidents most often occur at intersections, which means that they are more common in large cities like Memphis, Tennessee. This type of accident can be very dangerous for the occupants of any type of vehicle, but they are especially dangerous for motorcyclists. Motorcycles already provide less protection during an accident than other types of motor vehicles. In a broadside accident, there is an increased likelihood that the other vehicle will make contact with the motorcyclist’s body directly. This can result in broken bones, loss of limbs, disfigurement, and other serious injuries. If you have been involved in a broadside motorcycle accident, contact the Memphis motorcycle accident attorneys at Nahon, Saharovich & Trotz to discuss your rights. Our firm has helped injured victims recover for their losses for over 30 years, and we are the largest plaintiff’s personal injury firm based in Tennessee.

Pursuing Compensation Following a Broadside Motorcycle Accident

In most cases, broadside crashes occur because the driver of the other vehicle breached their duty to operate their motor vehicle with reasonable care. Drivers can breach this duty in a number of ways, such as becoming distracted by their cell phone, driving while too fatigued to concentrate properly, drunk driving , and other forms of negligence. Knowing the reason behind the other driver’s breach can be a crucial piece of information in your case against that driver, which is why it is important to contact an attorney early in your case. An experienced motorcycle wreck attorney in Memphis can help you investigate the facts of your case and gather the proof that you need to establish the negligence of the at-fault driver.

Once negligence has been established, damages will become a main focus of the case. The damages available to a person injured in a broadside motorcycle accident largely depend on the extent of that person’s injuries. For injuries that do not result in permanent impairment or death, the damages available will generally consist of medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. For injuries that do result in permanent impairment or death, recoverable damages may also include future medical expenses, future lost wages, lost earning capacity, loss of consortium, funeral expenses, and more. By consulting with an attorney qualified in handling serious motorcycle accidents, you can ensure that you do not miss out on any potential type or source of recovery for your losses.
