Tennessee Slip-and-Fall Injury Lawyer
In Tennessee, the owner or operator of a property must use reasonable care to make the premises safe and to warn visitors of dangerous conditions. If you are injured because a property owner failed in this duty, you may be entitled to compensation for damages such as medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. This area of law is known as premises liability.
At the law office of Ralph Brown & Associates in Knoxville, Tennessee, we work with clients throughout east Tennessee who have been injured or disabled due to property negligence. The following are examples of the types of the types of cases we handle:
- Slip-and-fall accidents in stores and other public places
- Trip-and-fall accidents
- Falls on stairs due to missing or inadequate handrails or uneven steps
- Falls caused by inadequate lighting
- Assault injuries caused by negligent security
- Landlord liability for injuries or assaults caused by nonfunctioning locks, fire extinguishers or smoke detectors
If you are injured on someone else's property, it's important to contact an attorney as soon as possible to preserve evidence of liability. You may assume that a store owner will cover your medical bills after an accident, but this is usually not the case. Without evidence of liability, the store owner is not likely to pay you anything.
By taking pictures of the accident scene, you can record the condition of the property at the time of the accident before property management corrects the dangerous condition. Evidence such as store videotapes must be preserved before they are recorded over.
