Tennessee motorcycle accidents often result in serious injuries. When a tractor trailer is involved, the motorcycle and rider rarely have a chance.

I recently reviewed a case involving the death of a Tennessee motorcycle rider who seemed to be doing everything right. He was wearing a full face helmet. He was traveling at the speed limit. He had a green light for the intersection ahead. It was daylight and there were no obstructions to view. What happened? A local Nashville tractor trailer driver turned left in front of the oncoming motorcycle.

There was a green arrow for left turns, but the truck driver didn’t want to wait. Or maybe he didn’t see the motorcycle. The driver had thick glasses, and hadn’t driven a tractor-trailer in more than 30 years.

It takes a tractor trailer as much as 20 seconds to make a left turn – and during that 20 seconds someone on a motorcycle, or in a car, can travel hundreds of feet. We have lots of information about Nashville and Tennessee truck accidents as well as Nashville car accidents.
