Auto Accidents
Every day, persons are injured in motor vehicle accidents across the State of Tennessee. Motor vehicle accidents are the most common form of personal injuries. Regardless of the size of the accident, whether a “fender bender” or serious accident, personal injuries of all types are sustained by Tennessee drivers at the hands of negligent drivers, even drivers that do not have automobile insurance.
However, if you sustain personal injuries in a motor vehicle accident where a driver is not insured through automobile insurance, most often you can recover from your own automobile insurance (if part of your policy covers uninsured motorists) for the injuries.
Pedestrian/Bicycle Accidents
Persons are injured walking down the street, through a crosswalk, in a parking lot, or at a place where vehicles and machinery of all types maneuver. Or even persons riding their bicycles are in danger of negligent drivers on the roadway. Pedestrian and bicycle accidents can be of an extreme nature and cause serious life-threatening injuries.
Truck Accidents
Most commonly referred to as tractor trailer or semi-truck accidents. We have all been in a position where a massive tractor trailer or semi-truck on the roadway or interstate has crossed into our lane of travel, it can be a very scary experience. Some of us have also been involved in accidents where the driver of the tractor trailer or semi-truck was sleeping at the wheel.
Many companies have large trucks such as box trucks or other large truck type vehicles that enter the roadway and perform negligent acts. Tractor trailers, semi-trucks, and all large truck type vehicles that enter our roadway should be held negligent for the accidents and injuries they cause to our community.
Wrongful Death
If a person is killed because of the wrongful behavior of someone, the decedent’s beneficiaries may file a wrongful death action against the party causing the death. A wrongful death can be caused by intentional or unintentional acts that cause an injury that results in death. The unfortunate loss of a loved one can be devastating to everyone involved.

Construction Accidents
Many types of injuries can be sustained on a construction site such as, repetitive stress injuries from lifting or other repetitive movements, loss of hearing, amputations, neck and back injuries, head injuries, machinery accidents, and falls from scaffolding. If you are injured in a construction accident, you may be able to recover damages for: medical and hospital expenses (present and future), lost wages, professional care needed from healthcare providers, emotional pain and suffering and possible loss of consortium.
Brain Injuries
Falls are the leading cause of traumatic brain injuries. These injuries can include, unconsciousness, inability to remember the event, confusion, problems with learning and remembering new information, trouble speaking where someone can understand you, dizziness or balance problems, and problems with vision or hearing. These injuries can also lead to an injured person’s inability to hold gainful employment.
Burn Injuries
A burn injury is extremely painful and can be caused by fire, electricity, steam from hot food or liquids, chemicals and other irritants. Burn injuries can be caused at school, a job site, an automobile accident, and many other places. Tennessee law states that if someone was negligent for causing you to sustain burn injuries, they can be held liable for such negligence, including, payment of medical and hospital expenses (present and future), lost wages, professional care needed from healthcare providers, emotional pain and suffering and possible loss of consortium.
Premises Liability
Premises liability includes, but is not limited to slip and fall accidents, animal attacks, hotel/motel injuries, mold and chemicals injuries, amusement park injuries, retail store and mall injuries, food restaurant injuries, maintenance of parking lots, sidewalks, and stairs. This usually comes into play in personal injury cases where you are injured on someone’s property due to unsafe or negligent conditions.
Tennessee property owners have a responsibility and duty to keep their properties safe from hazards to the public. When Tennessee property owners do not maintain their properties in a safe manner, they are liable for the injuries sustained by persons on their premises.
