Skilled Premises Liability Lawyer in Nashville
Serving Clients Throughout Middle Tennessee
Traditional "slip and fall" cases are far tougher to win—or even settle favorably—today than they were in the past. However, there are situations when an obstacle, a construction activity, or a seriously defective condition on property merit taking legal action. In other situations, negligent security—whether in an apartment complex, bar, or other residential or commercial setting—is cause for a valid premises liability claim or lawsuit.
If you have suffered serious injuries on someone's dangerous property and want an honest evaluation of your legal options, please contact me, attorney Robert L. Whitaker, as soon as you possibly can. Proving liability in a premises case typically requires prompt, thorough investigation while physical evidence may still be in place and witnesses can be located.
With the right facts in place, including a demonstrably dangerous condition and injuries serious enough to require surgery, time off work or rehabilitation, I will aggressively pursue your premises liability claim. For example,
- I obtained a $425,000 mediated settlement to cover all medical expenses for a client who had tripped due to dangerous conditions in an apartment complex.
- In another case, a woman slipped on water on a highly polished tile floor in a salon. It turned out that a sink nearby had an ongoing leak and the salon knew about it and did nothing to fix it. The victim had back surgery and the case settled for $500,000.
