Motorcycle accidents in Clarksville

Just a few miles from our main Louisville location where we’ve helped thousands of accident victims is Clarksville. Motorcyclists injured here are often Indiana or Kentucky residents.

Unfortunately, about 80% of motorcycle accidents result in injuries or death. In many cases, a car pulls out in front of a motorcyclist and says “they just didn’t see them”. When making a left hand turn or pulling out of a side street or driveway, drivers have a duty to maintain a proper lookout before pulling into traffic, especially into the path of a motorcycle. Inattentive driving and distracted driving are both forms of negligence.

In other cases, a vehicle may rear-end a motorcycle. Motorcycles can stop quickly, and drivers should always maintain a safe distance from them so they can stop in time without hitting them. Rear end accidents are often the result of a driver tailgating, daydreaming or playing with their phone. Motorcyclists can’t be held liable for their injuries when they’re lawfully stopped in traffic and rear ended.

Injured bikers and loved ones left behind after fatal accidents have a right to be compensated for a driver’s negligent actions which caused the accident.

Do I really need a lawyer?

After any accident it is wise to speak to an attorney prior to speaking to the insurer of the motorist who caused the accident. Even if you’re partially to blame for going a little too fast, you can still be compensated for your injuries. Insurers delay and deny claims thousands of times every day, and any communication you have with them may severely damage your case. If you’re better off without an attorney, we will not waste your time or ours but will still offer you free advice on how to best proceed with your injury claim.

So, yes, do contact us after any injury on a motorcycle.
