Every year, thousands of hard-working Tennesseans are injured on the job due to unsafe working conditions. A workplace injury can leave you facing physical pain, permanent disability, and financial uncertainty. Your employer may treat you unfairly or make you worry about keeping your job.

Under Tennessee law, property owners have a duty to keep their premises safe. However, statistics indicate that thousands of individuals sustain injuries each year due to trip, slip, and fall incidents resulting from unsafe property conditions. These injuries can stem from various hazards such as trip hazards, broken stairs, poor lighting, and other unsafe conditions found in stores, commercial properties, parking lots, homes, and apartment complexes. If you suffer injuries due to a hazardous condition on someone else’s property, you may have the right to seek compensation. Premises liability cases can be technical and complex, similar to those involving auto accidents. Not all personal injury attorneys possess the expertise needed to handle these challenging cases effectively. You need a skilled, experienced lawyer who understands how to conduct a site inspection, preserve crucial evidence, and navigate complicated legal defenses. At Dunigan Law, we have the expertise to ensure you’re not left paying the price for someone else’s carelessness, allowing you to focus on your recovery, whether it’s from a slip and fall or a workers compensation claim.

Dog bites can lead to serious physical injuries and emotional trauma, similar to the aftermath of auto accidents. Nationwide, roughly 4.5 to 4.7 million dog bites occur annually, with 800,000 requiring medical attention. These incidents can cause significant injuries, scarring, and emotional distress. Insurance claims for these tragic events total millions in damages each year. In Tennessee, the law mandates that dog owners keep their pets under reasonable control at all times and prevent them from running at large. Additionally, a dog owner can be held liable for all damages if they have reason to know their dog is dangerous. Proving these personal injury cases requires experience, evidence, and knowledge of local laws. At Dunigan Law, we assist clients in securing compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering, similar to our work with workers compensation cases. We handle negotiations with insurance companies, gather crucial evidence, and take care of all legal details so you can focus on healing. If you or a loved one has been bitten, contact us today to protect your rights.

Losing someone you love is heartbreaking, especially when their death results from someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing. Whether due to auto accidents, unsafe conditions, or another preventable incident, a wrongful death claim can help bring accountability and financial relief during this incredibly difficult time. No amount of money can ever replace a loved one, but a wrongful death lawsuit can assist in covering funeral expenses, lost income, medical bills, and the emotional toll of your loss. It also holds wrongdoers accountable for the damage they caused. At Dunigan Law, we work with compassion and determination to guide families through the legal process with dignity and care. As a personal injury attorney, we handle the legal details of your case so you can focus on grieving and healing. You don’t have to face this alone; we are here to seek the justice your family deserves, including support for any workers compensation claims you may need.

When a city, county, or state agency causes harm through auto accidents, such as a car accident with a government vehicle, unsafe public property, or negligence by a government employee, you may be entitled to compensation under Tennessee’s Governmental Tort Liability Act (GTLA) or the Tennessee Claims Commission Act. Suing a government entity isn’t like filing a typical personal injury claim, as special notice requirements, damage caps, and shortened filing deadlines apply. These claims follow complicated rules and strict deadlines, making it critical to act quickly. At Dunigan Law, we understand the complexities of the GTLA and how to build a strong case within the legal limits. If you’ve been injured due to governmental negligence—whether it’s a school district, law enforcement agency, public utility, or city department—we’re here to help. Our team of personal injury attorneys will guide you through the process, protect your rights, and fight for the compensation you deserve, including any workers compensation you may be entitled to.
