Car Accidents

Car accidents are the most common type of personal injury claim filed in Chattanooga. When a crash happens, injured individuals must file a claim with the other party’s insurance company to pursue compensation. To succeed, victims must prove the other person was at least partly to blame for the wreck.

If you’ve been hurt, it’s guaranteed that the at-fault party’s insurer will try to deny or minimize its liability in order to avoid paying the full amount of compensation that you are owed. A Chattanooga car accident lawyer at Davis Firm, LLC, will know what evidence is necessary to prevent insurance companies from pushing an unfair amount of fault onto you.

Our lawyers have the added advantage of having worked for insurance companies before. We know the tactics that insurers use to deny deserving victims compensation, and we won’t let their adjusters get away with them.

Truck Accidents

Many people think that truck accidents are similar to auto accidents, but they are quite different. In a crash that involves two smaller vehicles, typically one of the drivers is at fault. That’s not always the case with truck crashes.

Several parties may be held liable in a commercial truck accident. Potential defendants include the truck driver, the trucking company, the cargo loading company, the maintenance company, and even the truck manufacturer.

Additionally, truck accidents typically result in more severe injuries compared to car accidents. The greater the injury, the larger the settlement may be.

Insurance companies are much more likely to dispute truck accident claims to avoid hefty payouts. With an experienced attorney from Davis Firm, LLC, by your side, you can rest assured that your case is being handled by a tough advocate who will push for full and fair compensation on your behalf.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycles are lightweight and less visible on the roads. When accidents happen, bikers often suffer serious and life-threatening injuries. Fair compensation is essential for accident victims, who often face long recovery periods and time off work.
Motorcyclists have the same rights as other motorists on Tennessee roads. But unfortunately, insurers and juries are often biased against motorcyclists. They view bikers as dangerous and reckless, even though that’s certainly not always the case. Before a fair settlement can be reached, a diligent personal injury lawyer has to break through these biases so the accident victim is compensated appropriately.

At Davis Firm, LLC, we don’t tolerate bias — and we certainly don’t put up with innocent victims being denied rightful compensation. Call us now to stand up for you.

Pedestrian Accidents

When a car crashes into someone on foot, the results are often catastrophic. Common pedestrian accident injuries include:

• Broken bones
• Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
• Spinal cord injury (SCI)
• Neck injury
• Back injury
• Burns
• Cuts and bruises
• Soft tissue injuries

Contrary to the popular saying, pedestrians do not always have the right of way. Tennessee has many laws surrounding pedestrians that outline the rights and obligations of both drivers and those on foot. Depending on the facts of the case, both the pedestrian and the other party could be to blame.

Tennessee’s fault laws allow accident victims to collect compensation as long as they are 49 percent or less responsible for an accident. If they are found even one percentage point higher, they cannot collect any compensation at all. With so much at stake, it’s important to contact an experienced Chattanooga pedestrian accident lawyer for help.

We’re just a phone call away. Call Davis Firm, LLC, for dependable and dedicated legal services.

Wrongful Death

When an accident results in death in Tennessee, certain family members of the deceased can file a wrongful death claim against the liable party. Within this claim, they can seek damages for the full loss of a beloved family member. Damages can include economic losses, such as lost income, medical bills, and funeral expenses. Compensation can also be awarded for losses that can’t be quantified, such as pain and suffering, loss of household support, loss of companionship, and more.

It can be painful for grieving families to reach out to a lawyer for help. How do you put a dollar amount on someone’s life? While no amount of money can replace your loss, Tennessee wrongful death laws do provide a financial remedy to help families move forward.

Let us relieve your burden. Talk to a Chattanooga wrongful death lawyer today.

Slip and Fall

Slip and fall accidents fall under an area of personal injury law known as premises liability. In Tennessee, premises liability law states that property owners are responsible for ensuring their property is in a safe condition for others to enter.

Slip and falls are often caused by dangerous conditions such as spills, loose flooring, broken or missing handrails, and unsecured wires and cables. When property owners do not fix the dangerous condition, they can be held liable for any damages the victim sustained.

Slip and fall claims are not as straightforward as they might seem. Accident victims must prove that the property owner knew — or should have known — about the dangerous condition and failed to correct it. In some cases, property owners may not even be required to fix the condition, as long as the accident victim was warned. A Chattanooga slip and fall lawyer can help injured individuals overcome these obstacles to compensation.

Workers’ Compensation

Most employers in Tennessee are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance. This insurance helps protect employees that are injured while they are on the job. When an employee is involved in a workplace accident, workers’ compensation will provide coverage for their medical expenses and a portion of their lost income if they are unable to return to work.

Workers’ comp benefits are supposed to be provided regardless of fault. Unfortunately, insurers are inclined to deny claims, sometimes on a technicality such as a missed deadline or insufficient documentation. Whether you are just applying for workers’ comp or seeking to appeal a denial, the hardworking attorneys at Davis Firm, LLC, can help protect your claim to benefits.

Construction Accidents

Construction sites are very dangerous places to work. Although many injury claims are covered under workers’ compensation laws, there are cases in which a third party (not an employer) is responsible for the accident. In those cases, a Chattanooga construction accident lawyer can file a personal injury claim for compensation from the at-fault party.

Not sure if you have a third-party claim? Contact a construction accident attorney at Davis Firm, LLC, today.

Nursing Home Abuse

Placing a loved one into a nursing home is one of the hardest decisions a family member ever has to make. You must trust the facility and its caregivers to give your elderly relative the best care possible. Unfortunately, this does not always happen. Understaffing often results in nursing home residents being neglected, and sometimes even harsher forms of direct abuse occur.

Victims of nursing home abuse and neglect may be eligible file a claim for compensation for any injuries they suffered. If you or a loved one has been hurt, turn to a trusted Chattanooga nursing home abuse lawyer right away.

Medical Malpractice

Patients have the right to expect that their doctors and healthcare professionals will adhere to the highest standard of care when treating them for an illness or an injury. The standard of care is the generally accepted procedure that medical professionals of similar qualifications follow when treating a patient’s illness. When healthcare workers are negligent and cause harm, it may be considered medical malpractice.

Proving medical malpractice is very difficult. Doctors and hospitals are protected by powerful insurers who will dispute malpractice claims fiercely. If you suspect you’ve been a victim of malpractice, it’s highly advisable to speak to a Chattanooga medical negligence attorney for help.
