WHAT WE DO
Chattanooga Premises Liability Lawyer
Have you or a loved one been injured on someone else’s property?
- Do not rely on insurance companies.
- You are our top priority.
- Stay away from a settlement mill.
We understand the hardship and loss that people suffer after any type of injury. Accident victims and families in East Tennessee and North Georgia rely on the experienced premises liability attorneys at Dennis and King to help them in aftermath of difficult situations.
Dennis and King personal injury lawyers have been representing victims who have been injured in premises accidents for over combined 75 years.
Can I be compensated if I get injured in a store or some other commercial establishment?
As a general rule, a customer at someone’s store is considered an “invitee,” and the storeowner is required to use reasonable care to make the premises safe, including the duty to make reasonable inspections to discover defective conditions. If you get injured in a store or some other business location, you may be able to recover money if the storeowner did not keep his premises safe, from a slip and fall accident for example.
If I am a guest in someone’s house and I get injured, can the homeowner be held responsible?
Yes. An invitee is entitled to the host’s knowledge of dangerous conditions in the house.
Can I be compensated if I get injured in the home that I rent from my landlord?
When a landlord rents a home to a tenant, he/she has a duty to inform the renter of any condition or defect that involves an unreasonable risk of bodily harm to persons who are lawfully upon the premises. A landlord can be held responsible if the tenant gets hurt due to the dangerous condition.
Can I be compensated if I get hurt in my apartment after I have warned the landlord about a dangerous condition that he/she fails to repair?
Yes. If a landlord fails to make such repairs in a reasonable time after he/she is aware of the need to make those repairs, then the landlord can be held responsible if the tenant or some other person lawfully on the premises gets hurt.

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.
