As experienced Manchester, Tennessee bicycle accident attorneys, we know that the reckless actions of drivers are often to blame.

We Protect You in Bicycle Accident Claims
According to statistics from the Tennessee Department of Safety, close to 400 people are involved in bicycle accidents each year in our state. Unfortunately, even if it was a minor collision or you were wearing the appropriate helmet and other safety gear, the injuries you suffer are likely to be severe. As a result, you may be unable to work or engage in even simple hobbies or activities, while needing ongoing medical attention. These types of accidents can leave you suffering permanent disabilities, which can impact you for years to come.
At the law offices of Burch & Stewart, we act as a strong legal advocate on your side in these situations, protecting your rights in a claim while you focus on your recovery. As experienced Tennessee bicycle accident attorneys, we represent clients who have suffered the following types of injuries:

- Head injuries, such as concussion and traumatic brain injuries (TBI);

Defending Your Rights in Bicycle Accident Claims
While bicyclists are required to take the necessary safety precautions and must obey the rules of the road, the fact is that the majority of bicycle accidents are due to the reckless actions of drivers. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) , the most common types of driving behaviors responsible for bike accidents include:
- Speeding and going too fast for conditions;
- Running traffic signs and signals;
- Driving distracted, such as using cell phones or texting;
- Driving under the influence of alcohol, illegal drugs, or medications.
