Tennessee Personal Injury Lawyers

Protecting the Rights of the Injured

When you or someone you love is injured, the physical, emotional, and financial toll can be overwhelming. At Fox, Farley, Willis & Burnette, our Tennessee personal injury lawyers are committed to helping clients navigate these challenges and secure the compensation they deserve. With decades of combined experience, our attorneys represent victims of car and truck accidents, motorcycle crashes, workplace injuries, and defective product cases throughout Tennessee.

We understand that every case is personal. That’s why our approach blends aggressive advocacy with compassion and communication. We fight tirelessly to protect your rights, hold negligent parties accountable, and make sure your voice is heard.

Understanding Personal Injury Law in Tennessee

Personal injury law gives victims the right to recover damages when they are hurt due to another person’s negligence or wrongful act. Whether the injury results from a car collision, defective product, or dangerous premises, Tennessee law allows victims to pursue compensation for their losses.

Recoverable damages may include:

  • Medical bills and hospital expenses
  • Future medical care or rehabilitation costs
  • Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
  • Property damage
  • Pain and emotional suffering

Tennessee’s statute of limitations generally gives injury victims one year from the date of the accident to file a claim. Because the clock starts ticking immediately, contacting an experienced personal injury lawyer as soon as possible is essential to preserving your rights.

Car Accidents in Tennessee

Car accidents are one of the leading causes of personal injury across the state. Drivers who text, speed, or drive under the influence put everyone on the road in danger. Even seemingly minor collisions can lead to long-term health complications.

Our attorneys conduct detailed investigations into every crash, reviewing evidence such as accident reports, witness statements, and vehicle damage. We handle all negotiations with insurers and take your case to trial if necessary to pursue full compensation for your injuries.

Truck Accidents and Commercial Vehicle Collisions

Truck accidents often cause catastrophic harm because of the massive size and weight of the vehicles involved. These cases can include multiple liable parties, from drivers and trucking companies to maintenance contractors and cargo loaders.

Fox, Farley, Willis & Burnette has extensive experience handling commercial truck cases. We understand the federal and state regulations governing the trucking industry and use that knowledge to uncover violations that caused the crash. Our goal is to help victims and families recover the compensation they need to rebuild their lives.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle riders face serious risks on Tennessee roads. Without the protection of a vehicle body, riders are often left with severe or fatal injuries in accidents caused by inattentive or reckless drivers.

Our firm represents motorcyclists injured in lane change crashes, rear-end collisions, and intersection accidents. We know how to counter insurance company tactics and prove liability for riders who were wronged.

Catastrophic Injuries and Traumatic Brain Injuries

Some injuries leave permanent consequences. Victims of traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, or severe burns may face a lifetime of medical treatment, therapy, and daily challenges.

We work closely with healthcare providers and life-care planners to determine the full extent of your losses and fight for compensation that covers future care, not just immediate expenses. Our attorneys ensure that victims receive the resources they need for long-term recovery and independence.

Dangerous Drugs and Defective Medical Devices

When medical products and prescription drugs are unsafe, the consequences can be devastating. We represent clients harmed by defective medications, implants, and other medical devices that failed to meet safety standards.

Our legal team holds pharmaceutical companies and manufacturers accountable for putting profits before patient safety. We pursue justice for clients who have experienced pain, illness, or permanent injury from dangerous drugs and defective products.

Toxic Exposure and Product Liability

Exposure to hazardous substances such as asbestos, benzene, or industrial chemicals can lead to serious health problems years later. Our firm has successfully represented individuals affected by toxic exposure at work or at home.

We also handle product liability cases involving unsafe vehicles, malfunctioning appliances, and defective children’s products. When manufacturers fail to protect consumers, we step in to ensure they are held responsible for the harm caused.

Workers’ Compensation and Disability Claims

If you were injured on the job or developed a medical condition that prevents you from working, our firm can help you pursue benefits through workers’ compensation or Social Security Disability.

We assist with initial claims, documentation, and appeals, ensuring that every step is handled correctly. We understand how important these benefits are for maintaining financial stability during recovery.

Tennessee Personal Injury FAQs

What should I do right after an accident?

Seek medical attention immediately, call the police to file a report, and collect contact information from everyone involved. Do not admit fault and avoid speaking to insurers until you’ve talked to a personal injury lawyer.

How much time do I have to file a claim in Tennessee?

In most personal injury cases, you have one year from the date of the injury to file a claim. There are exceptions in certain cases, so it’s best to contact a lawyer as soon as possible.

What compensation can I receive?

You may be able to recover medical costs, lost wages, property damage, and compensation for pain and suffering. Each case is different, and we evaluate all potential damages before pursuing a claim.

What if I was partially at fault?

Tennessee follows a modified comparative fault rule. If you are less than 50 percent at fault, you may still recover compensation, though your award will be reduced based on your level of fault.

Do I have to go to court?

Not always. Many cases settle through negotiation. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, our attorneys are fully prepared to take your case to trial.

How do you charge for your services?

We work on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay nothing upfront and no attorney fees unless we recover compensation on your behalf.

Can I file a claim for a defective product?

Yes. If a product is unsafe because of a design flaw, manufacturing defect, or inadequate warning label, you may be entitled to compensation under Tennessee product liability law.

What should I bring to my free consultation?

Bring any documents related to your case, such as police reports, medical records, photographs, and correspondence from insurance companies. This helps us evaluate your claim more effectively.

What if I was injured at work?

You may be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits, which cover medical costs and a portion of your lost income. Our attorneys can help you file or appeal your claim to ensure you receive what you’re entitled to.
