- Traffic ViolationsThis is a common scenario. For example, one driver was speeding or distracted but the other driver ran a stop sign. Under the doctrine of comparative negligence (the relative fault of each driver), you could still recover compensation. Tennessee uses a 49% rule. If you are deemed to be 49% or less at fault for the crash, you can be compensated. If you are found to be 50% or more at fault, you are barred from recovering compensation. Never assume that you were solely or mostly at fault. Talk to an attorney to discover where you stand.
- Workers CompensationIn the event of a work-related injury, such as those occurring from ladder accidents, roofing mishaps, or on construction sites, it's critical to report the incident to your employer promptly. In Tennessee, you must notify the correct parties within 15 days of the accident to preserve your right to file a workers' compensation claim. Your employer is required to inform their insurance carrier of your work-related injury within one working day of learning about it. If your employer does not report your injury, you have the option to contact the state's workers' compensation division for assistance, and this would also be an opportune moment to consult with a seasoned workers' compensation lawyer to evaluate your legal options.
- Premises LiabilityPremises liability – Businesses, landlords, homeowners and government entities can be liable for safety hazards that result in slip-and-fall accidents or other injuries. Our job is to show that the property owner created or should have known of a dangerous condition and failed in a duty to correct it or warn the public.
- Personal InjuryIn the aftermath of an accident or injury, your head is spinning and you may not know your rights or what to do. The guidance of an experienced personal injury lawyer is invaluable in helping you through the process and ensuring your fair compensation.
- Medical MalpracticeTo establish a claim for medical malpractice, it is necessary to thoroughly investigate the actions of the medical professional involved. You must be able to show that the doctor, physician, or nurse administered treatment that deviated from acceptable standards of care. This almost always means that you will need experts who will review your case and determine if malpractice occurred. We know how to find these experts for you.
