The lawyers you trust after an auto accident in Tennessee
There are few circumstances more frightening - or frustrating - than auto accidents. Our Nashville personal injury attorneys are known throughout the state of Tennessee as being some of the fiercest, most aggressive litigators around. We've built a reputation for obtaining large verdicts and settlements for car accident injury victims in Tennessee. Our injury attorneys in Nashville, TN fight for justice for victims of:
- Auto accidents. If you were injured in a car accident, Rocky McElhaney Law Firm knows what to do. Our Nashville personal injury law firm handles complex claims involving everything from single-car crashes, multi-car pileups, ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft, pedestrians and bicyclists. Our car accident lawyers file a personal injury lawsuit, deal with your insurance company, help you get a rental car and work hand-in-hand with your doctors to collect and document the evidence we need to build a successful case for you.
- Truck accidents. When you've been in an accident with an 80,000-pound tractor-trailer, you're going to need some help. These massive vehicles pose a lot of problems to passenger cars on the road, namely because they cannot maneuver quickly or stop on a dime when there's a problem. Whether the truck itself was defective, the driver committed an error or something else was responsible for your collision, our skilled Nashville personal injury attorneys can help.
- Motorcycle accidents. Tennessee has some of the greatest roads in the country for riding a motorcycle. Unfortunately, our drivers share the rest of the country's propensity for ignoring bikers while on the road. A motorcycle accident is always serious, because riders don't have the same kinds of protections that car and truck drivers do. After a serious motorcycle accident, let Rocky McElhaney Law Firm uphold your rights and protect your future.
- Pedestrian accidents. Pedestrian accidents can cause especially serious injury due to the lack of protection for those on foot. Our experienced Nashville, TN injury lawyers understand the unique challenges these cases present and are dedicated to ensuring that pedestrian accident victims receive the compensation they deserve. Whether the accident involved a distracted driver, a failure to yield, or any other form of negligence, we are here to fight for your rights and help you recover.
- Bicycle accidents. Bicyclists are particularly vulnerable on the road, facing risks from distracted drivers, poor road conditions, and even defective bike parts. When a bicyclist is struck by a vehicle, the injuries can be severe and life-altering. Our experienced injury attorneys in Nashville, TN are dedicated to ensuring that injured cyclists receive the compensation they need to recover and move forward with their lives.
- Airplane accidents and train accidents. Thank goodness that airplane and train accidents are rare, because they are potentially devastating. Our team of mass transit accident lawyers are familiar with the rules and regulations which govern air and train travel and understand what kind of uphill battle you face when you don't have the right representation. Let us shoulder that burden for you.
- ATV and watercraft accidents. A day on the water or out on the trails can be a lot of fun, but an act of negligence or a defective part can lead to truly catastrophic injuries. ATVs are prone to rolling, leading to crushing injuries. Boating accidents pose a special risk of drowning. If you or a loved one was hurt on an ATV, UTV, boat, Wave Runner, or any type of motorized vehicle, we can help.

The unexpected loss of a love one can be devastating. Learning that their death could have been prevented can trigger a range of strong emotions.
