Injury Lawsuits in Chattanooga
Personal injury lawsuits are some of the most common types of civil lawsuits filed in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Personal injury lawsuits are grounded in the theory that when a person behaves in a reckless or negligent manner and injures another person, they should be held responsible for their actions.

Some of the most common classes of personal injury claims include car accidents, workplace accidents, slip and falls because of dangerous conditions on the property, and injuries stemming from defective products.
Unfortunately, accidents can also result in such serious injuries that sometimes may result in death. These tragic events often leave families with significant financial burdens, as well as deep emotional injuries.
