Motorcycle accidents can change lives in an instant. As a rider myself, I know how vulnerable you are on the road — and how often inattentive or reckless drivers are to blame. If you’ve been injured or lost a loved one in a motorcycle crash, I want you to understand your legal rights and the steps you can take to protect them.

At RedStone Law, our attorneys — Mike, Morgan, and Mark — have over 25 years of combined experience helping injured riders and families across Kentucky and Tennessee. We offer a free, no-pressure consultation to review your case, answer your questions, and guide you toward the next steps.


How We Begin Your Motorcycle Accident Case

Here’s what typically happens in the first phase of a motorcycle injury or wrongful death case:
1. Preserve crucial evidence before it’s lost — including the motorcycle, gear, and accident scene photos.
2. Interview witnesses and review police reports for accuracy and missing details.
3. Gather video and digital evidence, such as dashcam or business surveillance footage.
4. Review medical documentation to connect injuries directly to the crash.
5. Evaluate insurance coverage and liability, including underinsured motorist claims.
6. Provide you with a clear Plan of Action — a customized roadmap for your case and recovery.You’ll always know what’s happening in your case, and you’ll have direct access to our team through our secure Client Portal, email, or phone.

WHAT REDSTONE LAW HANDLES

We represent injured riders and families in cases involving:

- Car and truck collisions
- Distracted or impaired drivers
- Defective roads or dangerous highway conditions
- Mechanical or equipment failures
- Wrongful death and loss of consortium claims

Our attorneys handle cases ranging from thousands to multi-million-dollar recoveries. We’re licensed in both Kentucky and Tennessee and practice in state and federal courts throughout both states.

How Fault Is Determined in Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists have the same rights as any other driver on the road — but are often treated unfairly by insurance companies. We investigate and prove fault against drivers who:
- Follow too closely or fail to allow safe distance
- Ignore traffic signals or fail to yield
- Drive distracted or impaired
- Speed or drive recklessly in bad weather
- Fail to keep a proper lookout for motorcycles

Our team works quickly to secure crash data, black box downloads, and expert analysis to clearly show how the accident occurred — and who was responsible.

Insurance Company Tactics to Watch Out For

Insurance adjusters often try to reduce or deny the value of your claim.

Common tactics include:
- Blaming riders for their own injuries
- Misinterpreting medical records
- Delaying claims to pressure a low settlement
- Arguing that injuries are “pre-existing”
- Claiming you don’t need a lawyer

We deal with these tactics every day, and know how to counter them effectively to protect your rights.
