If you have been injured due to someone else’s negligence, you may wish to explore your options for recovering compensation. If you are accused of negligent conduct or if someone is injured on your property, you may be concerned about the possibility of legal action.
At Kuebler & Associates, PLLC, of Chattanooga, we can provide you with the results-oriented advocacy you deserve when you are injured or sued for causing someone else’s injuries.

Serving You In A Broad Range Of Personal Injury Claims
When it comes to handling personal injury claims, we can walk you through your legal options when you are involved in just about any type of injury-causing accident.
We can assist you with claims involving:
- Car crashes: Car crashes can result in catastrophic injuries and substantial property damage.
- Slip-and-fall incidents: When unsafe property conditions result in injury, the injured party may attempt to hold the property owner accountable in a premises liability lawsuit.
- Dog bites: A dog owner can potentially be held liable for an attack if they knew or should have known that their animal was likely to bite someone and failed to take reasonable precautions to prevent an attack.
- Wrongful death: If an accident kills someone, the deceased’s loved ones have the right to file a wrongful death lawsuit.
While just about any accident can lead to a personal injury case, you must prove that someone else’s negligence caused the accident and your injuries. When you meet with our team, we will review the evidence and help you determine the best path forward.
How Do Personal Injury Claims Work In Tennessee?
Tennessee is a comparative negligence state. If you are suing a property owner for injuries and the jury decides you are 20% responsible for causing a slip-and-fall incident, for example, any damage award will be reduced by 20%. If you are found to be 50% or more at fault for causing an accident, you will not be able to recover any damages.
If you were harmed in an accident, you can fight to recover compensation for:
- Medical bills and expenses
- Missed or lost wages
- Lost earning capacity
- Physical and emotional pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Punitive damages
While the damages you receive are dependent on the facts and circumstances of your case and injuries, we will always advise you of all your options and potential outcomes.
What Is The Deadline To File A Personal Injury Lawsuit In Tennessee?
Personal injury lawsuits are subject to Tennessee’s statute of limitations. In most cases, an injured party will have only one year from the date of the accident to bring a claim. If a claim is exclusively seeking compensation for property damage, an injured party will generally have up to three years to file a lawsuit. A wrongful death lawsuit must be filed within one year of the victim’s passing.
