Bailey & Greer Tennessee Personal Injury Practice Areas

Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice suits are brought against doctors, hospitals, and other medical entities. From errors in surgery to misdiagnosis, many times the cure becomes more dangerous than the cause.

Birth Injuries

The birth of a new baby is usually one of life's most profound joys. But when newborns are injured in the birth process, the joy can turn quickly to worry and grief. Most families need a helping hand at such a time.

Auto Accidents

Almost every person will be involved in at least one auto accident in his life. While the lucky may walk away, many serious injuries and even death can result. When an auto accident occurs, don't look for us behind the ambulance. We handle the more serious traffic injuries and strive to help our client get his or her life back on track.

Truck Accidents

Commercial trucks cause a growing number of traffic injuries and fatalities each year. Questions of liability include driver fatigue, truck maintenance, trucking company hiring practices, and substance abuse.

Motorcycle Accidents

Even though Tennessee has a helmet law, many motorcyclists are injured on our roadways. Often, the injured motorcycle rider is not seen by other drivers and gets cut off, pushed aside,or even flipped, causing severe and sometimes catastrophic injuries.

Nursing Home Abuse

When a loved one must rely on the care of others, we expect that care will be loving and competent. Yet, all too often, our elders are mistreated and abused by others. This travesty must be stopped.

Wrongful Death

Wrongful death can occur for many reasons. Traffic accidents, medical mistakes, abuse, and neglect can all end in death. When a person is wronged and ends up dying, his or her loved ones have the right to get compensation from the negligent.

Premises Liability

Premises liability cases can be serious. For example, when Memphis landlords offer poorly built and maintained property to their tenants and fires and injuries are a result, litigation may be necessary.

Legal Malpractice

Sometimes the legal profession must police itself. When an attorney or law firm is negligent and a client is wronged, the client is entitled to recoup his or her losses.

Workers' Compensation

Tennessee workers' compensation law affects every single person that wakes up and goes to work on a daily basis.  If you are hurt on the job, you may have a worker's compensation claim against an employer.

Drugs and Medical Devices

Victims who are injured by defective medical devices and drugs have the right to file a lawsuit to recover for medical bills, lost wages and the loss of enjoyment of life. Defective drug and device cases are complex, and you should only hire a law firm with substantial experience and the financial resources to take on these major corporations.

Whistleblower Actions

The False Claims Act (FCA) permits a "whistleblower" with evidence of fraud by government suppliers (State or Federal) to file suit and recover what has been stolen.  And, the whistleblower can keep up to 25% of what is recovered. That makes you the most important weapon, and best defense, against people ripping off taxpayers. 

Airline / Aviation Injuries

Have you been injured on an airline or suffered an aviation-related injury, such as a toxic fume event. Aircrew and passengers are increasingly worried about exposure to fumes in cabin air that contain dangerous chemicals.
