A person who has been injured as the result of negligence or professional misconduct has the right to consult a legal professional and consider taking recourse to seek monetary compensation for the injuries he or she has sustained. The purpose of this compensation is to help the victim and his or her family rebuild their lives. This is accomplished by receiving money for medical care, future medical expenses, lost wages, loss of earning potential, pain and suffering, emotional trauma, and possibly more. The specific value of a claim may vary depending on the extent of injury suffered and the circumstances of the accident itself. The purpose of this compensation is to help an accident victim rebuild his or her life to a similar point as it was before the accident occurred. The award or settlement is referred to as "compensatory damages." In Tennessee, certain claims have limits to the amount of financial compensation a victim or a victim's family can seek, but there are often ways to work around this to help ensure you receive the money you need.
To help you receive financial compensation for your personal injuries, our lawyers will work to prove that your personal injury damages resulted from your accident because of the negligence or unsafe actions of another person or business. This could include, but is not limited to, your employer, a manufacturer, your caregiver, a doctor, another motorist, your landlord, or anyone else who may have breached their duty of care toward you. In proving negligence and that the other party had some sort of obligation or duty toward you, we can help hold the party liable (legally responsible) for your injuries. This means they will be required to pay your compensatory damages. Most often, these damages are paid by the responsible party's insurance company. However, we can investigate your case to see if compensation can be obtained from other sources as well.
