While it may be tempting to accept the first offer given to you, especially if you are experiencing a great deal of pain and cannot return to work.

That is why it is of the utmost importance to hire a Cleveland personal injury attorney before filing a claim.
With over 75 years of combined experience, the team at Dennis and King will negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf, working tirelessly to secure a more substantial settlement than likely without skilled legal representation.

Don’t Wait – The Window Of Opportunity To File a Claim is Limited
If you have been injured due to the careless, reckless, or otherwise negligent actions of another, you may be entitled to substantial compensation for any damages suffered. That being said, the window of opportunity within which to obtain this compensation begins to close the moment the accident occurs. And in Tennessee, that window only remains open for one year. After that, most personal injury claims will be dismissed entirely. There are exceptions to this one-year rule, but they are few and far between. Whether you were injured in a slip and fall accident, motor vehicle crash, or as a result of medical negligence, it is in your best interest to seek legal counsel from an experienced TN injury attorney immediately.

The regional area of Georgia and Tennessee is a crossroads and a center for car manufacturing, river traffic, and other industries. Large trucks, semi-trucks, 18-wheelers, and other commercial vehicles are constantly on the road. This has a downside as frequent truck accidents occur on I-75, I-24, I-59, Highway 153, U.S. 27, Amnicola Highway, Corridor J, and other roadways.

ATV Accidents
Under both Tennessee and Georgia law, ATVs are not authorized for use on paved road, but children continue to bring ATVs on to our roads and highways. Georgia and Tennessee laws also prohibit the carrying of passengers on most ATVs, require children below the age of 16 to take approved ATV training courses, and require kids younger than 16 to wear helmets, eye protection, and over-the-ankle boots when operating ATVs. However, these requirements apply only when ATVs are operated on public lands, leaving kids essentially without protection when riding ATVs on private property.
About ATV Accidents >
Bicycle Accidents
The most tragic type of bicycle crash is a bike-car collision. Cyclists are completely defenseless traveling on 30-pound bikes when they’re surrounded by 3,000-pound cars and trucks racing by them. Pedestrians, defective bike parts, recalled bike helmets, and other ineffective bicycle safety equipment can also cause bicycle accidents. Bike accidents can result in wrongful death or serious injuries such as broken bones, amputation, traumatic brain injury, neck, back, and spinal cord injuries.
About Bicycle Accidents >
Boating Accidents
One of three factors usually cause boat accidents: an inexperienced boater, an intoxicated operator, or a boat malfunction. More than a third of both fatal and non-fatal boat accidents are alcohol-related. It is estimated that boat operators with a blood alcohol content of .10 or higher are 10 times more likely to be injured or killed in a boat accident than sober operators.
