Memphis, Tennessee, Personal Injury Attorneys
If you’ve been injured in a big city like Memphis, Tennessee, you probably know that in such places almost anything can happen. Though personal injury cases often involve things like car accidents, the term can encompass so much more. Things like plane crashes, medical malpractice, product liability cases, and even in some rare situations, defamation of character. The area of law is very broad and includes almost any area where physical or emotional harm has occurred to a plaintiff.
In Memphis personal injury cases, the court overseeing the trial is concerned with identifying acts of negligence by one of the involved parties. The party that the court identifies as more negligent (or carless or reckless) will be found to be legally responsible for the injuries that occurred. Tennessee uses what is known as a system of modified comparative negligence when assigning fault for personal injury accidents. This means that so long as the plaintiff is found by the judge or jury to be responsible for 50% or less of the damages that occurred, then they will be able to recover compensation from the responsible party or parties. The only problem arises if the injured party is found to be at fault for more than 50% of the injuries, in such cases, that party is not entitled to recover damages from any other responsible party.
Issues such as comparative fault can be quite complicated, especially for ordinary people without legal training. Each state uses a different system and concerns itself with different percentages of fault. The issues can be tricky, which is why you should find a personal injury attorney you can trust to handle the tough issues as they arise.
