You Need Lawyers Who Know Chattanooga
You want advocates in your corner that understand what makes your local community unique. The lawyers at Gary Massey Injury Lawyers have deep roots in Chattanooga and southeastern Tennessee. We know the challenges our residents face, especially in the aftermath of a serious accident or injury.
We’re familiar with the roads and waterways where accidents most often occur, which medical treatment facilities deliver the best care, and which recovery support services are available nearby. We also have a deep understanding of the employers, nursing homes, and businesses that make up the fabric of our communities. This localized knowledge and experience allows us to better serve clients injured in the Chattanooga area.
Common Injuries We Handle in Chattanooga
Accidents often leave long-lasting physical and emotional pain. In Chattanooga, we see clients with a wide variety of injuries. Some are minor, and some are severe, but all of them matter to us. Even injuries that seem minor at first can cause chronic pain or other serious complications down the road if not treated promptly. No matter the injury, we encourage all Chattanooga injury victims to seek help right away. We’ll share reliable medical facilities and other resources below. For now, here are some of the most common injuries we see from many different accident types:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) that impact cognitive function, memory, and daily activities
- Whiplash and other neck injuries from car accidents
- Broken bones and fractures that need surgery
- Back and spinal cord injuries that lead to chronic pain and disability
- Burns from fires and chemical exposures
- Cuts and lacerations
- Internal injuries that aren’t immediately apparent
- Loss of limbs
- Emotional and psychological trauma that causes anxiety and PTSD
This list could go on. We’ve seen it all here in Chattanooga, and we’re here to fight for the injured in our community.
Types of Compensation We Get for Chattanooga Accident Victims
For all the suffering we shared above and more, Chattanooga victims may be entitled to compensation for a wide range of losses, including physical, emotional, and financial. We see firsthand how injuries devastate the lives of people in our community.
Beyond the immediate pain and medical care, their lives are disrupted, careers paused or ended, family lives shattered, and their financial stability taken away. Even when the physical aspects of an accident have improved, the ripple effect of missed income, ongoing therapy, emotional stress, and a diminished quality of life can be heartbreaking.
What we do at Gary Massey Injury Lawyers is recognize the full scope of an accident’s impact on a victim and their loved ones and fight for the maximum compensation.
Here are some of the common types of recoverable compensation we fight for:
- Medical Expenses: Emergency care, surgeries, hospital bills, medications, rehabilitation, home modifications, and ongoing treatment
- Lost Wages and Reduced Earning Capacity: Compensation for time missed from work and diminished future earning potential
- Property Damage: Vehicle repair or replacement, and other damaged personal property
- Pain and Suffering: Physical pain and emotional distress caused by the accident
- Emotional and Psychological Injuries: Anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, or any trauma resulting from the accident
- Wrongful Death Benefits: Funeral and burial costs, lost financial support, and loss of companionship for surviving family members
We work to ensure every client receives compensation that fully addresses the tangible and intangible effects of their accident. Every case is unique, and we work closely with each client to understand their losses and make sure none are overlooked.
Chattanooga’s Best Doctors
After an injury, getting the best care possible is a top priority. Chattanooga is fortunate to have some of the best medical facilities in the region, including Erlanger Baroness Hospital, southeast Tennessee’s only Level 1 Trauma Center. Erlanger provides around-the-clock critical care for the most serious injuries.
Our firm has built solid relationships with medical providers throughout Chattanooga. We can guide you to the appropriate specialist based on your injury and unique needs, from neurologists and orthopedic surgeons to rehabilitation and long-term therapy. We also understand how to work with these medical professionals to ensure your injuries are properly documented to support your legal case.
Other Resources in Chattanooga
Recovering from an injury is often a long-term process. You may require months or years of post-injury care and support. Our firm knows how to connect you with the right services at the right time, whether it is short-term therapy, long-term support, vocational rehabilitation, or something else.
The Chattanooga Area Brain Injury Association is one such resource, offering free support services to victims of head trauma. At Gary Massey Injury Lawyers, our local knowledge and relationships come in handy at every stage of your healing journey.
Chattanooga’s Most Dangerous Roads
Our firm has represented countless victims of Chattanooga’s most dangerous roads and intersections. We have deep knowledge of the traffic patterns, road conditions, and signage issues that contribute to accidents on our busy roadways.
We know that many of Chattanooga’s crashes happen in the same few areas, including:
- Vance Road and Lee Highway
- Eastgate Loop at Brainerd Road
- Spring Creek at Brainerd Road
The Chattanooga Police Department’s data backed this up in its recently released list of the area’s most crash-prone intersections.
This local knowledge helps our lawyers quickly identify contributing factors, like intersection layout or inadequate signage, that helps us build a stronger case. Out-of-town attorneys may miss these crucial details.
