Johnson City Slip & Fall Attorneys
Ready to Fight for Slip & Fall Accident Victims
People slip, trip, or fall every day in Tennessee through no fault of their own. While they may feel embarrassed or want to “shake it off,” it’s important that they take action against a premises owner or agent who failed to take the proper safety precautions. A slip and fall injury is often more complicated than people think, and obtaining compensation for your injuries requires that you get help from an experienced Johnson City slip and fall lawyer. Meade Law Group can help.

While the business and property owners of the premises in question may be accommodating, you can count on their insurance carriers not to do the same. Insurance company representatives are known for pressuring injury victims into accepting less than they are owed. Sometimes, they will even deny claims.
It is important for you to recognize that suffering an injury due to someone else’s negligence makes you entitled to compensation for your losses, including medical bills, lost time from work, and pain and suffering.
