Clear and Fair Fee Structure
After a motorcycle accident, you’re likely dealing with medical bills, missed work, and serious physical pain. You shouldn’t also have to worry about legal fees. That’s why we work on a contingency fee basis.
Here’s what that means for you: You don’t owe us attorney’s fees unless we recover compensation in your case. If we’re successful, our fee comes from your settlement, never out of your pocket.
However, if there is no recovery, you may still be responsible for reimbursing certain case-related expenses, including court costs and fees paid upfront by our firm for medical records, experts, or filings. We always work tirelessly to ensure a transparent and fair financial situation for our clients because we believe everyone deserves quality legal representation without financial barriers.
You Heal. We Handle the Rest.
After a motorcycle crash, your priority should be getting back on your feet, not sorting through paperwork, answering calls from insurance adjusters, or tracking down accident details. At Wettermark Keith, we take over the legal and logistical challenges so you can focus entirely on your health and recovery.
Get All the Help You Need
Recovering from a motorcycle accident can take weeks or even months. During that time, the last thing you need is to be buried in legal documents or confused about your next steps. When you work with us, you get a dedicated legal team that manages your claim from start to finish, handling communication, deadlines, and strategy with care and confidence.
Reducing YOUR Medical Costs
The financial toll of medical treatment can be just as stressful as the injuries themselves. Our legal team takes on the task of communicating with your doctors and hospitals, working to reduce or defer your medical costs. In many cases, we’re able to negotiate lower medical bills, helping you increase your overall settlement package.
Building a Strong Case
We don’t wait to take action. The moment you bring us on board, we begin assembling the strongest case possible. That means gathering accident scene evidence, securing witness statements, consulting with experts, and examining every angle of liability. Our attorneys know how to build a case that stands up to insurance companies and holds negligent drivers accountable.
Types of Compensation Available for Motorcycle Accident Victims
Motorcycle accidents often leave victims facing more than just physical injuries, they can disrupt every area of life. Even low-speed collisions can lead to serious, long-lasting injuries. At Wettermark Keith, our dedicated legal team fights for maximum compensation to help you recover not only physically, but financially and emotionally as well.
Medical Expenses
Motorcycle crash injuries frequently require extensive (and expensive) medical treatment. We pursue compensation to cover the full scope of your healthcare needs, including ER visits, surgeries, prescription medications, follow-up care, mobility aids, and long-term rehabilitation services.
Lost Income
Time away from work during your recovery can quickly drain your finances. We help clients recover lost wages from missed time on the job, and if your injuries reduce your ability to earn in the future, we’ll also seek compensation for diminished earning potential.
Vehicle Damage
Motorcycles and personal property often take the brunt of a crash. We work to recover compensation for damage to your bike, helmet, protective gear, phone, or any other personal belongings that were damaged or destroyed in the accident.
Pain and Suffering
The impact of a motorcycle crash isn’t just physical, it’s emotional, too. If you’re living with chronic pain, reduced mobility, or mental health struggles tied to the accident, we’ll pursue compensation for the suffering you’ve endured, including trauma, anxiety, and reduced enjoyment of life.
Psychological Trauma
Beyond physical injuries, motorcycle crash victims may experience lasting psychological effects. If you’re dealing with nightmares, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, or severe emotional distress as a result of the accident, you may be entitled to additional compensation for these invisible injuries.
Loss of Companionship
When injuries impact your relationship with a spouse or loved one, whether emotionally, physically, or through the loss of support, we can help you pursue damages for loss of companionship, affection, or intimacy caused by the accident.
Understanding Motorcycle Accident Claims
It is always a wise decision to contact an attorney within a few days of being injured in a truck accident. While you will have a year to actually file your claim, hiring an attorney right away can save you time and headache by letting the professionals negotiate your medical bills, communicate with your insurance, and hunt down all of the details for your case. Here are some additional details you should be aware of:
How long do I have to file a claim in Tennessee?
Tennessee has a one-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims. That means you have just one year from the date of your motorcycle accident to file a lawsuit. Don’t wait, start your claim as soon as possible.
How much is my motorcycle accident case worth?
Every case is unique. The value depends on the severity of your injuries, the costs of your medical care, the impact on your ability to work, and more. During your free consultation, we’ll evaluate your case and give you an honest assessment of what to expect.
Can I still file a claim if I was partially at fault?
Yes. Tennessee follows a modified comparative fault rule. As long as you’re less than 50% at fault, you can still recover damages. However, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault.
Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries
Motorcyclists have far less protection than drivers in cars, making injuries more likely and more serious. Some of the most common injuries we see include:
- Road rash and severe abrasions
- Bone fractures (especially collarbone, ribs, legs)
- Head injuries and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- Spinal cord damage and paralysis
- Facial disfigurement
- Internal bleeding or organ damage
- Emotional trauma and PTSEven if you walked away from your crash, you could be dealing with invisible injuries. Don’t wait to get checked out by a doctor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Tennessee law requires all riders to wear helmets. Not wearing one can impact your claim, especially if you suffered a head injury. However, it doesn’t automatically bar you from seeking compensation. Your attorney can argue for partial responsibility and still pursue damages on your behalf.
If you were injured in a hit-and-run, we can help you file a claim under your uninsured motorist coverage, if available. Our team will also work with law enforcement to investigate and identify the responsible party.
Most of our cases settle without needing a trial. However, if the insurance company refuses to make a fair offer, we’re fully prepared to take your case to court and present your case before a jury.
