Law Office of John Whitfield | Memphis Personal Injury Attorney

Memphis Personal Injury Lawyers

An accident can result in devastating injuries to the victim.  Not only must personal injury victims contend with painful physical injuries, but they may also suffer from psychological trauma as well.  Furthermore, because the cost of treating most serious injuries is very expensive, it can be difficult for a victim to pay for his or her medical care, adding additional stress to an already overwhelming situation.  If you or someone you love has been the victim of a personal injury in Memphis, you have the right to take legal action.  A skilled Memphis injury attorney can review your case, inform you of your rights, and explain your best options under the law. 

Under Tennessee personal injury law, a victim who has sustained physical and/or emotional injury because of the conduct of another person (negligence, recklessness, or even intentional wrongdoing) may have the right to file a lawsuit against that person or company in civil court. The penalties assessed in civil court are monetary in nature. This means that a plaintiff (the person who suffered injury) may seek financial compensation from the defendant (the person/entity who caused the plaintiff's injuries) for medical care, lost earnings, pain and suffering, and possibly more. This compensation is awarded to a personal injury victim in order to help him or her rebuild and recover.
