What You Must Prove in a Memphis Defective Product Motorcycle Lawsuit

By Thomas Greer | April 21, 2012

When the day is beautiful and you hit the open road on your motorcycle, the last thing you might expect is to be injured because someone, somewhere allowed a defect to go unnoticed. But sadly, this happens all too often, causing needless suffering for Tennessee motorcycle riders.

As Memphis motorcycle crash lawyers, we hear all too often about cases of defective product liability. In these cases, no matter how careful the motorcyclist is, he or she can be seriously injured because of a defect in either design or defective manufacturing.

The National Highway Safety Administration (NHSTA) oversees the safety of all Americans who travel our highways and byways. The NHSTA sets and requires vehicle safety standards for all motor vehicles, including motorcycles. They can order safety recalls and even pull unsafe vehicles from the market.

Yet, even with the NHSTA doing all it can to protect us, defective product liability continues to cause serious Tennessee motorcycle accidents. For this reason, this type of case is heard regularly throughout the country.

To prove a Memphis defective liability motorcycle claim, you will need to:

  • Find and retain a reputable, experienced, aggressive legal team.
  • Prove that a defect in your equipment existed or exists.
  • Prove that you have sustained injuries as a result of the defect.
  • OR, prove that you were not warned about the defect.
  • AND, prove that you were using the defective machinery or part in the way it was intended to be used.

Don’t wait to find out if you do, indeed, have a viable claim. Contact the Memphis motorcycle crash experts at Bailey & Greer to get started finding justice and compensation for your injuries. Call us toll-free today at 901-680-9777 for a free case evaluation. Let us work to right the wrongs.
