Nashville and Middle Tennessee Fighting for Injured Cyclists

Cyclists have a legal right to the road—but too many drivers forget that. Inattentive, aggressive, or careless motorists often put lives at risk. At Schwed, Adams & McGinley, P.A., we stand with Nashville's injured cyclists and hold negligent drivers accountable. Our trial-ready attorneys have helped clients across Tennessee recover substantial compensation after devastating bike crashes. From hit-and-run incidents to collisions at dangerous intersections, we take on the most challenging cases—often those turned away by other personal injury firms. With over 17,000 cases resolved and more than $500 million recovered, we bring proven strength to the negotiating table and the courtroom.

Whether your case involves a distracted driver, an uninsured motorist, or catastrophic injuries, we'll treat it with the seriousness it deserves. Other attorneys trust us with their toughest cases—more than 500 referrals in 2024 alone. That's the kind of reputation you want on your side when it's time to fight.

Nashville, TNCommon Causes of Bicycle Accidents

Nashville is a growing city with more cyclists on the road than ever before. Unfortunately, that increase hasn't come with improved safety. We regularly handle cases involving:

  • Drivers texting or using cell phones
  • Failure to yield at crosswalks and intersections
  • Dooring incidents in bike lanes
  • Speeding and aggressive driving
  • Drivers passing too closely
  • Drunk or impaired motorists

Many of these accidents result in devastating injuries such as spinal trauma, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), broken bones, internal bleeding, road rash, and permanent disability. We understand how quickly a bicycle crash can alter your life—and we fight for the resources you need to recover.

We Know the Insurance Company's Playbook

Insurance carriers often work fast to devalue or deny bicycle accident claims. What they don't advertise is that their primary goal is to protect their bottom line—not your health or financial future. At Schwed, Adams & McGinley, many of our lawyers worked on the defense side before switching to fight for injured plaintiffs. We know exactly how insurers operate—the loopholes they look for, the arguments they'll try, and the evidence they hope you don't collect. We use that knowledge to anticipate their tactics and build airtight cases from the start. This isn't just legal experience—it's a strategic advantage.

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.

  • Pain and suffering
  • Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
  • Emotional distress and trauma
