Personal Injury Lawyers

The Hughes & Coleman team recently obtained a $12 million verdict from a 2017 collision that resulted in the amputation of a man’s legs. Our client was traveling from Memphis to Nashville on Christmas day when he was struck by a negligent and distracted driver in a commercial truck. The insurance company denied responsibility and initially offered $50,000 to settle, but Hughes & Coleman fought for more and were ultimately rewarded by a jury who ruled in our client’s favor.

The Hughes & Coleman team successfully represented a client who was injured due to the negligence of a corporate defendant resulting in a $6.7 Million verdict for our client. Our client was the unfortunate victim of the tow truck company that did not meet their obligation to safely perform services. Hughes & Coleman turned down the initial $1.7 million settlement offer as we knew our client required much more for his future projected medical care. After multiple arguments on both sides and much deliberation by the jury during trial, our client received a jury verdict of $6.7 million.

The Hughes & Coleman team was able to obtain a $1,000,000 settlement for a family who was in a serious automobile accident.

She suffered serious injuries requiring medical and cosmetic surgery. Along with the driver, we represented her daughter-in-law and three minor grandchildren.

Hughes & Coleman represented an individual who suffered several injuries after being struck by a Deputy Sheriff.  In an attempt to avoid another collision, the Deputy Sheriff swerved into our client's lane striking him head-on. We were successful in recovering  $900,000 for our client.
