Vehicle Accidents

Information you need to know about Vehicle Accident cases

Watson Burns can handle cases that deal with personal injuries from ANY kind of accident or crash: automobile, truck, boat, motorcycle, ATV or airplane.

Information is very important in bringing a successful case when there has been an injury as a result of a vehicle accident.  If possible, you should try to provide all relevant medical records, accident and police reports, lost time from work and the names of any witnesses you may know of.  Sometimes it is helpful to try to write down your personal account of the accident to help remember all the facts when you sit down with an attorney for a consultation.

If you have suffered a serious or catastrophic injury the attorneys of Watson Burns will go to the scene of the accident, any time of the day or night, to begin working on your case immediately.  Often, when there is a serious accident involving a car or truck, there are some jobs that cant wait until the next day.  Taking photographs of the accident scene, interviewing witnesses and making sure evidence is handled properly are all things that need to be handled immediately.

Time is very important.  In most cases the law of Tennessee gives a person only one year to file an action for personal injury.  As soon as you believe you have been injured by the negligence or intentional conduct of another person or company you should call Watson Burns to arrange a consultation to find out about your legal rights and remedies.

Some of the compensation you may be entitled to when you are the victim of a personal injury as the result of negligence includes pain and suffering, past and future medical expenses, past and future earnings, loss of parental and spousal consortium, emotional and mental distress and loss of enjoyment of life. 

Watson Burns takes vehicle accident cases on a “contingent fee” basis.  This means that the law firm will advance all expenses and costs and accept a percentage of a successful verdict or settlement as payment.  If your case is not successful then you will not have to pay anything.
