Damages a Murfreesboro personal injury lawyer can help you recover
If you've been injured due to someone else's negligence, you deserve to be compensated for your injuries and financial losses. Hiring a lawyer for injuries is the best way to ensure that you receive every dollar you deserve. Our firm deals with insurance companies every day, knows both Murfreesboro and Tennessee laws, and what your injury is worth. This experience makes all the difference when seeking to recover damages because, without it, thousands of dollars can often be left on the table that would otherwise be awarded through either a settlement or a trial verdict.
When you hire a Tennessee law firm, you are not only helping yourself in the short term, but in the long-term as well, as an experienced attorney also helps ensure that you are compensated fairly for the long-term. This makes all the difference – especially if you've suffered a severe injury that may require years to recover from, if you're able to recover fully at all.
An experienced injury attorney can help you recover damages for:
- Property damage
- Medical expenses (including future medical expenses)
- Lost wages, as well as future lost wages that you may experience as a result of your injury
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish, which can include anxiety, depression, and other related emotional distress that stem from the accident
- Punitive damages can also be awarded in cases of gross negligence

Types of cases our Murfreesboro injury lawyers handle
Turn to a legal team with experience and resources. Our attorneys have extensive experience helping clients with a broad range of personal injury law areas, including – but not limited to:
Motor Vehicle Accidents
If another driver's negligence causes a car accident that injures you or your family, you may be able to recover damages. Automobile accidents can range from a distracted driver to someone who causes a crash while intoxicated or any other type of reckless driving. Regardless of the circumstances, if you've been injured in a car wreck due to someone else's negligence, a Murfreesboro car accident lawyer at our firm is here to help. Car accident cases are some of the most common claims that we handle, and we work tirelessly to ensure that our clients are fairly compensated.
Brain Injury Cases, Including Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs)
A Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a severe and frequently life-changing condition that can cause physical, cognitive, and emotional impairments, making it imperative to hire a brain injury lawyer to safeguard your legal rights and obtain just compensation for your damages.
Defective Products
Defective product injury cases occur when someone is injured due to a product that is dangerous or faulty. This can include anything from defective electronics to contaminated food. A defective product lawyer can be beneficial in these cases because they have experience determining liability and can help victims recover compensation for their injuries and damages from the responsible parties, including the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer.
Motorcycle Wrecks
These are among the deadliest road accidents because riders are only protected by their helmets and any other protective gear they are wearing. These collisions frequently cause catastrophic damage or death. Don't accept a settlement offer without speaking with an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer in Murfreesboro.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Sadly, slip and fall accidents in Murfreesboro can happen anywhere, from shopping centers and parking facilities to public locations like pools and parks. These accidents might be caused by snow and ice, wet floors, debris, inadequate lighting, or other issues caused by negligence. These may appear to be minor mistakes, yet they can cause months, years, or even lifelong suffering.
Fire and Burn Injury
A fire and burn lawyer can be beneficial in cases where a victim has suffered injuries or damages as a result of a fire or burn incident. We have experience determining liability, negotiating with insurance companies, and pursuing maximum compensation for our clients, which can include medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Birth Injuries
A birth injury lawyer can help families who have suffered a birth injury by investigating the circumstances of the injury and determining if malpractice or negligence played a role. They can also assist in pursuing compensation for the child's injuries and damages, which may include medical expenses, ongoing care, and pain and suffering.
Medical Malpractice
Most healthcare professionals work with the utmost dedication and care, but patients can suffer life-threatening complications and injuries if they don't. Pharmaceutical errors, surgical errors, and incorrect diagnoses are just a few reasons to file a claim against a healthcare provider.
Drug Injuries
A drug injury is defined under the law as any harm caused to an individual as a result of taking a prescription or over-the-counter medication, including side effects, adverse reactions, or injuries caused by defective or dangerous drugs. If you've been injured by a drug, contact us today.
Truck Accidents
Since Interstate 24 runs right through Murfreesboro, residents may be at a higher risk for trucking accidents. Due to these vehicles' enormous weight and size, motor vehicle accidents involving 18-wheelers frequently result in serious injuries. Depending on the circumstances, the truck driver or the trucking company may be held responsible. You need an experienced Murfreesboro truck accident lawyer in these often complex cases.
Premises Liability
Premises liability cases arise when someone is injured on someone else's property due to unsafe conditions. This can include slip and fall accidents, dog bites, and inadequate security. A premises liability lawyer can be beneficial in these cases because they have experience navigating the legal complexities of these types of claims and can help victims recover compensation for their injuries and damages.
Defective Medical Device Injuries
Defective medical devices are products that are intended to help patients but end up causing harm due to design or manufacturing faults. Patients who are injured by these devices may require additional medical treatment, suffer financial losses, or experience emotional distress. A defective medical device lawyer can be beneficial in these cases because they can help victims navigate the complex legal process, hold manufacturers accountable for their negligence, and recover compensation for their injuries and damages.
Nursing Home Negligence and Abuse
This category of cases includes a variety of forms of elder abuse, including physical abuse, financial exploitation, and staff neglect. Contacting a nursing home abuse lawyer is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your loved one and others.
Wrongful Death
If you have suffered the unimaginable loss of a loved one in an accident caused by someone else's negligence, a wrongful death claim may be your best legal option. Even if another type of accident caused the death, the laws governing a claim are frequently separate and distinct. In Tennessee, the statute of limitations is one of the strictest in the nation. Don't wait to contact a wrongful death attorney.
Dog Bites and Attacks
Because the victim and pet owner may know each other and the victims are frequently children, these cases can be extremely sensitive. Trespassing issues can sometimes add to the claim's complexity. If you or someone you love has been injured by an attack, our dog bite lawyers can help you.
Environmental Injuries
An injury lawyer can help individuals who have suffered environmental injuries by investigating the circumstances of the injury and determining if negligence or wrongdoing played a role. They can also assist in pursuing compensation for the victim's injuries caused by exposure to hazardous substances or other environmental hazards.
Social Security Disability
A social security disability lawyer can help by assisting with the application or appeal process for social security disability benefits, ensuring you receive the financial assistance you need due to a disability.
Workers' Compensation
