Maryville Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Maryville personal injury attorney Mark C. Hartsoe has represented a number of clients who have been involved in motorcycle accidents in Blount County. Because of the scenic beauty of its mountains, Blount County, Tennessee is a very popular location for motorcycle riders; unfortunately, some riders suffer severe injuries on Blount County’s roads.

According to the Tennessee Department of Safety’s Office of Research, Statistics, and Analysis, the number of motorcycle crashes in Tennessee rose in recent years, from 2,293 reported accidents in 2004 to 3,257 in 2008. In the most recent year for which statistics are available, 2,530 Tennessee motorcycle accidents caused injuries, and 143 Tennessee motorcycle accidents involved fatalities. In Blount County alone, there were 181 motorcycle crashes in 2008.

Most accidents involving motorcycles result in serious injuries (including brain injuries and shattered limbs) or death. Many motorcycle accidents are caused by careless car drivers who fail to keep a proper lookout for riders, which results in catastrophic motorcycle wrecks. A smaller percentage of motorcycle accidents involve defective products or negligent maintenance of the motorcycle.

If you or someone you love was injured in a Tennessee motorcycle accident, you should consult an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible. Key evidence must be collected and preserved, in order to identify the party or parties responsible for the accident.

When people are injured as a result of someone else’s negligence, or by the use of a defective product, they may claim compensation from the people or companies responsible. Such compensation should cover the injured person’s pain and suffering, medical bills (including the cost of necessary care still to come), lost wages and/or loss of ability to earn, any related property damage (such as the damage to the motorcycle), and more. If the injured rider was partly negligent as well, he or she may still be able to receive compensation for part of the harm caused by the accident.

Maryville personal injury attorney Mark C. Hartsoe has successfully represented Tennessee residents who were injured in motorcycle accidents, including riders involved in collisions while riding their motorcycles on the Dragon. Each year, a number of wrecks on the Dragon are caused by negligent car drivers and other motorcycle riders who negligently operate their bikes. The people injured by those drivers and riders should not have to bear the consequences of those wrecks alone.

We appreciate the great job that you did on our case. You watched out for our interest even before you took our case. Mark Hartsoe did a wonderful job. He showed great expertise as he went up against a multi-national corporation with multiple lawyers. He had a thorough understanding of the many details and events that occurred. We were especially impressed with his skill during mediation. Mark’s PowerPoint presentation was excellent, overwhelming the opposition. It was refreshing to work with someone who does what he says he will and truly had our best interest in mind. Thank you for everything. Dennis and Julie Greene

We would very much appreciate it if you would be so kind as to e-mail to our office the Powerpoint presentation that you made at the commencement of the mediation. Our General Manger was very impressed and would like to show it to the CEO and may in turn show it to other corporate personnel as an example of what can happen to the same or similar case when placed in the hands of an excellent lawyer such as Mark Hartsoe.
