Michael: I’m Michael Ponce. Motorcyclists know that no matter how safe they ride, a careless driver can change their life in an instant — with devastating consequences. Unfortunately, many people have a bias against riders and assume that the motorcyclist is at fault when an accident happens. It’s important that a rider have representation to protect themselves if an accident does occur. For many years, we’ve represented motorcyclists — and we’ll be there for you, too.
Ponce Law. Justice for all.
Many motorcycle wrecks in Nashville happen because drivers fail to see riders. Common causes include:
These actions can put motorcyclists at serious risk because riders have far less protection than occupants of passenger vehicles.
Motorcycle accidents often cause severe injuries because riders do not have the same protection as people inside passenger vehicles. Even when you are wearing a helmet and protective gear, you can suffer broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, road rash, and internal bleeding. These injuries can require emergency surgery, long hospital stays, physical therapy, and time away from work. Medical bills can pile up quickly, and insurance companies may try to pressure you into accepting a fast settlement that does not reflect the true cost of your recovery. That is where strong legal representation matters.

When someone else’s careless actions lead to a motorcycle crash, you have the right to seek compensation for your losses, such as
When there is reckless conduct, a Court may also award punitive damages. An experienced motorcycle accident lawyer in Nashville can evaluate your case and help you pursue the full compensation available under the law.
In Tennessee, injured riders generally have one year from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit under Tennessee Code Annotated § 28-3-104. Missing that deadline can mean losing your right to seek compensation in court.
Tennessee also follows a modified comparative fault rule, which means you can recover damages as long as you are less than 50 percent at fault for the accident, but your compensation can be reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurance companies know this rule well and may try to shift blame onto you to reduce what they pay. Our motorcycle crash lawyers in Nashville work to push back against unfair accusations and protect your right to full and fair compensation.
