Summary:

The firm demonstrated that the plaintiff failed to follow established motorcycle safety protocols, leading to a resolution at mediation for less than claimed medical expenses and full dismissal of the case.
Description:
Case Name: Aaron Hascher v. Kevin Cagle
Court: Circuit Court for Williamson County, Tennessee at Franklin
Case No.: 2018-324
The case arose from a July 10, 2017, motorcycle accident on Interstate 840 in Williamson County, Tennessee. Plaintiff Aaron Hascher claimed that defendant Kevin Cagle’s lane change caused a collision between their motorcycles. Fault was strongly contested.
McLemore Law PLLC undertook extensive litigation preparation, including written discovery, depositions, and medical analysis. The firm retained a motorcycle safety expert who testified that the plaintiff was following too closely and violating safety standards, including failing to maintain a one-second gap and initiating a passing maneuver without proper spacing.
These findings supported McLemore Law’s position that the accident was avoidable had the plaintiff followed safe riding practices. The case resolved through mediation on June 26, 2020, and all claims against Mr. Cagle were dismissed on July 21, 2020.
