Representing Injured Cyclists Across Memphis and Shelby County

Cyclists have the same rights as any motorist on the road—but that doesn't always mean drivers respect them. From inattentive behavior to reckless disregard for bike lanes, motorists in Memphis often endanger cyclists with devastating consequences. At Schwed, Adams & McGinley, P.A., we proudly represent injury victims throughout Tennessee, including right here in the Memphis area. Whether your crash happened in Midtown, East Memphis, or near Shelby Farms Greenline, we have the resources, experience, and legal firepower to help you fight back. With over $500 million recovered and more than 17,000 personal injury cases resolved, we know what it takes to win.

Why Work With Our Memphis Bicycle Accident Lawyers?

Too often, the cyclist is unfairly blamed after a crash. Insurance companies may question your injuries, downplay the driver's fault, or even suggest you were at risk simply for being on the road. That's why you need a team that doesn't back down—and knows how to prove the truth.

Our attorneys bring more than 200 years of combined litigation experience to the table. We've earned a reputation for taking on cases that other firms avoid. In 2024 alone, over 500 cases were referred to us by personal injury lawyers who trust our skill in high-stakes litigation.

Every case we take is treated as a potential trial from the beginning. We don't wait for challenges to arise—we prepare for them. When you work with us, you're not just hiring a lawyer. You're hiring a strategic partner with a full team behind your case.

Memphis, TN Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents

Memphis has seen growing efforts to improve bike infrastructure, but danger remains a daily concern for cyclists. Our attorneys have handled countless bicycle accident cases involving:

  • Texting while driving or distracted driving
  • Failing to yield at intersections
  • Drivers opening vehicle doors into cyclists' paths (dooring)
  • Excessive speeding or aggressive behavior
  • Passing without leaving safe distance
  • Impaired or intoxicated drivers
  • Dangerous intersections such as Poplar and Highland or Union and Cooper

Many of these crashes result in life-changing injuries, from traumatic brain injuries and fractured bones to spinal cord trauma and internal organ damage. If you've been hurt, our Memphis bicycle accident lawyers will investigate every detail and fight for full accountability.

We Know How Insurance Companies Think

Insurance companies are quick to defend drivers—and even quicker to cast doubt on cyclists. Their adjusters and lawyers are trained to minimize payouts and delay your claim in hopes you'll give up or settle for less than you deserve. What they don't count on is a law firm like ours. Many of our attorneys previously worked for the insurance industry. We understand how they think, how they evaluate cases, and where they cut corners. We use that insider knowledge to stay ahead of their tactics, anticipate their strategies, and dismantle their defenses before they gain traction. At Schwed, Adams & McGinley, P.A., we don't just respond—we lead.

Dear Schwed Law Office.

After speaking with Schwed Law, I felt she gave me hope. The minute I gave them my accident report, I was confident I was going to be taken care of. My personal injury left me in a lot of pain. I was frustrated and exhausted. I had horrible headaches, neck and shoulder spasms and many restless nights. This impeded special outings and meetings with family and friends. I knew the bills were going to be taken care of. So I just focused on getting treated for my injury and feeling better. I never once had to call to follow up on anything.

I was so impressed with how fast my case was settled. I am so grateful for how I was treated and cared for. I highly recommend the offices of Schwed Law. Their professionalism and expertise were enough to put me at ease with all my questions and concerns from the beginning.
