Premises liability

You have a reasonable right to safety in the places you frequent, whether entering your apartment complex, patronizing a store, eating at a restaurant, or using the ATM at your local bank. The owners and caretakers of these properties have a responsibility to provide upkeep and maintenance that promotes safety and prevents injury to visitors. The actions, or inactions, of a negligent property owner can cause substantial harm and injury to individuals visiting their premises.

When serious injuries occur, our skilled premises liability attorneys know how to identify all the responsible parties, show why they are liable, and obtain the compensation you deserve. Some of the types of premises liability claims we handle include:

• Negligent Security
• Slip and Fall
• Dog bites
• Elevator and escalator accidents

Product liability

We are constantly inundated with products. Whether shopping at the corner store or watching television, product manufacturers and retailers are constantly telling us why we should purchase and use their products. So, when we do invest in these items, it is completely reasonable to expect them to perform as promised. When this expectation is not met, you or a member of your family may be seriously injured.

Our experienced product liability lawyers fight for you when a product causes injury. Whether the problem stems from a design defect, a manufacturing mistake, or inadequate warnings; we have the skill and working relationships with product safety experts to hold the big corporations accountable through a product liability claim. We handle product liability claims involving defective tools, equipment, vehicle parts, medical devices, drugs, appliances, electronic products, children’s products, and other products.

Nursing home abuse and neglect

Nursing homes and other elder care facilities have a legal and ethical duty to care for the people who reside in their facilities. It is difficult to imagine that anyone would want to hurt an elderly person, but unfortunately, these events happen far too often. These vulnerable individuals become victims of abuse and negligence when unqualified or overworked caregivers and negligent administrators fail to properly perform their duties.

Our knowledgeable nursing home abuse lawyers know that nursing home abuse can take many forms; including physical, emotional, sexual, and financial abuse. We also represent nursing home residents who suffer harm due to nursing home neglect. If your loved one is suffering from bedsores, malnutrition, medication errors, physical restraints, slip and fall accidents, or other types of harm – our Chattanooga personal injury lawyers are ready to help your loved one.

Wrongful death claims

Our personal injury lawyers represent families who have lost loved ones due to another person’s negligence. Upon securing our wrongful death legal services, you can rest assured that your family is receiving the type of accomplished representation your deceased family member deserves.

We begin with a thorough investigation of the injury-causing event. Once we thoroughly examine the circumstances, we file wrongful death claims against the responsible individuals and businesses that tragically took the life of your loved one. While no amount of money can ever replace your loved one, bringing a claim allows families to hold the wrongdoers accountable and can relieve some of the financial strain related to their loss.

Workplace injuries

We file third-party personal injury claims for independent contractors. We also file product liability claims for employees and independent contractors. Our firm also files workers’ compensation claims when employees are injured during the scope of their employment.
