We file these claims against manufacturers and anyone else who may be responsible. Our lawyers handle claims involving defective medical devices, drugs, vehicle parts, tools, electronic products, machines, household products, products for children, and other products.
- Premises liability claims. We file personal injury claims against commercial owners, organizations, homeowners, and governmental entities (where permitted under the Tennessee Governmental Tort Liability Act and other applicable law) for failing to prioritize the safety of the property they own or manage. These claims include slip and fall accidents, nursing home abuse and neglect, negligent security, dog bites, and other acts of negligence.
- Negligent hiring, supervision, or retention. We file claims against employers when they fail to conduct background checks or fail to respond to notices or complaints of employment misconduct, such as when nursing homes fail to vet their employees or respond to complaints of abuse.

We work with physicians who understand the unique challenges, the lifetime of pain, and the possible complications catastrophic injuries cause. We fight to help catastrophic injury victims live fulfilling lives.
- Wrongful death actions. We represent families when a loved one tragically dies due to the negligence or fault of others. While no amount of money can bring your loved one back, strong recoveries can help provide a measure of justice for your family members and help the members of the family live their best lives possible. We seek compensation for the funeral and burial costs, the loss of financial support, and the loss of personal support.
