When walking or biking in the Nashville area, no one should have to dodge motor vehicles or be in fear. Unfortunately, drivers who are careless, distracted, intoxicated and overly aggressive pose real dangers. Many fail to keep proper lookout for bicyclists and walkers, sometimes leading to severe and tragic accidents.

You may be caring for a child or other family member and wondering how you will piece things together financially and emotionally. At the Law Office of Michael K. Smith, we care what happened, and will make it our mission to help restore your well-being and your future.
Taking Action For Victims Of Pedestrian And Bike Accident Injuries In Middle Tennessee
Attorney Michael K. Smith has handled hundreds of auto wreck cases and other serious injury claims, including many on the defense side during the first decade-plus of his law career. He knows applicable Tennessee laws and the strategies used by insurance companies to deny claims and minimize payouts. You can count on focused, determined representation in full view of challenges associated with your case, including our efforts to:
- Establish that the offending car or truck driver was more than 50 percent at fault for the accident due to a traffic violation — and, often, extreme negligence such as drunk driving or texting and driving
- Defend against any false claim that the accident victim stepped or "darted" into traffic, ignored a signal or was otherwise impossible to avoid
- Identify all applicable insurance coverage and other sources of recovery, which can include a homeowners policy or uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage
- Construct a compelling account of the total impact of a bike or pedestrian accident on your life, in order to maximize compensation for medical expenses and long-term care needs, pain and suffering, and other damages
Michael K. Smith's clients have received hundreds of thousands of dollars in settlements and jury verdicts over the last several years. He will work relentlessly to win your case as well.
