To support our clients, we developed a process to ensure you get paid fast.
What are the five steps to getting paid fast?
- Complete medical treatment: You must complete your medical treatment and reach maximum medical improvement. Treatment for your accident-related injuries may be as short as one day or several years. But, if you suffered “soft tissue injuries”, the usual treatment time is about six weeks to four months. Worried about medical bills? Learn how our team supports you to get the medical treatment you need. We wrote a piece about your medical bills at Dennis and King will support you with your injury claim settlements to get the medical care you need blog post.
- We order your medical bills: Our team of experienced attorneys order your initial medical bills as soon as you hire us to represent you. Once you have finished treatment for your injury, we will order the rest of your medical bills and medical records. If you lost time from work, we will verify in writing how much time you lost. The final collection of medical records usually takes about four weeks.
- We write a compensation report: Once we receive your medical records, bills and lost wage report, we write a very detailed letter describing your injury and the pain and inconvenience you suffered because of your accident. This takes about a one week.
- We get you an offer: The insurance company responds to our demand for settlement for your injury case with a first offer in about two weeks to thirty days.
- We settle with the insurance company or go to trial: If a fair settlement is offered by the insurance company, we discuss it with you. In some cases, you will be satisfied with the offer and not need to go to trial. However, if the offer is not fair, we will file a lawsuit against the insurance company on your behalf. We aren’t afraid to go to trial to ensure you receive the highest settlement possible.
Keep in mind, in both Tennessee and Georgia, insurance companies owe very few duties to accident victims that are not their own insureds. The goal of all insurance companies is to pay you as little as possible. Hiring an experienced personal injury firm, like Dennis and King, is your best option for receiving a fair settlement.
Our team at Dennis and King created the Get Paid Fast! section on our website to provide answers to frequently asked questions from our clients. Learn more about getting your fair compensation from a personal injury claim.

A Personal Approach for Accident Victims
Personal injury
In almost all personal injury claims, insurance companies will offer you significantly less than what you deserve. It’s tempting to accept the first offer, especially if you are in a great deal of pain and unable to return to work. But if you’ve already taken a devalued settlement from the insurance company and your medical bills start to pile up, there’s little legal recourse to ask for more. That’s why it’s crucial to involve a Chattanooga personal injury lawyer before you even file a claim.

Trucking Accidents
Truck accidents in the United States are on the rise. Recent statistics show that almost 150,000 people are injured in truck accidents each year, and 6,000 people are killed. 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. If you or a loved one has been injured in a Georgia or Tennessee truck accident, you may be eligible for substantial compensation.

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.

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.

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.
