How do your personal injury lawyers fight for Kingston accident victims?

We’re trial lawyers. That means that we are always ready to try your case before a jury of your peers. Here are some of the many ways we fight for personal injury victims in Kingston:

  • We work with investigators and various professionals who help demonstrate how the accident happened.
  • We formally question the defendants and witnesses—in writing and through direct oral questions—about their involvement and knowledge of the accident.
  • Our team formally requests all documentation showing the defendants had knowledge of a dangerous condition and failed to take proper action, such as knowledge of prior complaints about slippery floors, product recalls, and dangerous working conditions.
  • We identify every defendant who may be responsible. For example, in a vehicle accident; the owners of the vehicle, a seller of alcohol to a drunk driver, and the Tennessee Department of Transportation may also be liable.
  • Our lawyers review every applicable insurance policy.
  • We discuss your injuries with your treating doctors to verify what injuries you have, what medical care you need, the cost of the care, and how your injuries prevent you from enjoying your life and doing your job.
  • We review how much income and benefits you are losing—to the dollar—due to your injuries.

We also anticipate the arguments that insurance companies and defense lawyers use and work aggressively to contest and counter those arguments.

At the proper time, we prepare formal demand letters for insurance companies detailing why their insured is responsible and how much your claim is worth. We often negotiate settlements for the policy limits. If your case doesn’t settle with your approval, we are skilled trial advocates. Unlike many lawyers, we enjoy arguing our client’s cases before juries.

How much is my Kingston personal injury case worth?

At Banks & Jones, our Kingston personal injury lawyers have helped thousands of clients obtain full recoveries for their financial and personal damages.

We fight for all the compensation you deserve. Our settlement demand will include all your current and future:

  • Medical bills. Emergency care, hospital care including surgeries, doctor visits, corrective surgeries, rehabilitative therapy, assistive devices, and medications
  • Lost income and benefits. Your wage losses, business losses, and other income losses – for as long as you can’t work – even permanently
  • Physical pain and suffering. Compensation for every time you ache, cry, itch, cringe, can’t sleep, become anxious, suffer depression, or hurt in any way – for the rest of your life
  • Property damage. Damage to your car (if you were in a vehicle accident) and other property damage
  • Loss of consortium. Compensation for spouses whose injuries prevent them from enjoying the romantic part of their marriage

We also seek punitive damages when the conduct of a defendant is especially unconscionable, e.g., when a drunk driver causes an accident or a manufacturer continues to a product after they’ve been notified it has been recalled.

If your loved one died, we file wrongful death claims demanding compensation for the following damages:

  • Funeral and burial costs
  • Loss of financial support, guidance, love, companionship, and services your loved one would have provided
  • Any outstanding accident-related medical costs

We represent Kingston personal injury victims on a contingency fee basis, meaning our success depends on your success.

What is the time limit in Tennessee for filing a personal injury claim?

You must file your Kingston personal injury claim within one year from the date of the accident or sooner if your claim involves a Tennessee agency.
