Medical Malpractice:

Are Tennessee Medical Malpractice Lawsuits Out of Control?
http://www.baileygreer.com In this video clip, taken from the Germantown Public TV series LegalEase, Thomas Greer provides a brief explanation about the decrease in the amount of medical malpractice lawsuits that are filed in Tennessee.

From 2008 to 2011, the number of Tennessee medical malpractice lawsuits decreased dramatically. In fact, filings were down 44% from 2008 to 2011. As a result, the insurance premiums doctors have to pay has been reduced as well. In Tennessee, a doctor or hospital cannot be sued unless an expert physician has reviewed the case and has given the opinion that the doctor or hospital was negligent and caused the injury or death.

Auto Accidents:

Local Lawyer Writes Book on Tennessee Auto Accidents
http://baileygreer.com Authors have numerous reasons why they choose to write a book. Sometimes it is because of a moment of inspiration and other times it is to share knowledge. In this video, Thomas Greer explains why he wrote his book on Tennessee Auto Accidents.

Mr. Greer explains that on a daily basis he receives calls from people who do not know what to do after they have been in a car crash. The team at Bailey & Greer happily take these calls and provide information, tips and guidance about the process.

However, as Mr. Greer explains, a potentially better way to communicate this information is through an informative book. As a result, he has written a book called Every Step You Take Matters After a Tennessee Auto Accident: Tips For Injury Victims.

In this book, you can find the steps you should follow immediately after a car accident. These steps include seeking medical attention, gathering information by taking pictures, and gathering information by talking to witnesses.

Also in the book, Mr. Greer writes about what you should do during the weeks and months after being in a Tennessee auto accident. For example, it is important to keep track of your medical records and attend the appropriate follow up doctor visits. A step you may want to also consider is contacting a lawyer to help you through these steps.

Tips on What to Do After a Tennessee Car Wreck
http://baileygreer.com The moments following a car crash can be disorienting and hectic. However, this is an important time to remember some key points. In this video, Tennessee car wreck attorney Thomas Greer discusses tips that you can find in his recently released book, called Every Step You Take Matters After A Tennessee Auto Accident: Tips For Injury Victims.

The first thing to remember to do after a car crash is to take care of your medical needs. It may take a minute or two after the accident to get a handle on the severity of your injuries. If you have any pains or if you think you have been injured, take care of yourself and see a medical professional.

The second thing to remember is to gather information about the accident. This includes obtaining information, such as license plate numbers, names of witnesses, insurance information, and any other information that you think is relevant.

The third tip is to not speak to the other driver’s insurance company. Immediately after an accident, you may get a call from a nice and personable representative, but the person’s main goal is to get you to accept as little as possible for the accident. Make sure to realize that the insurance adjuster is not your friend.

If you have been in a Tennessee car wreck, seek out a well-respected and qualified law firm like Bailey & Greer.

Wrongful Death:

How Compensation is Given in a Tennessee Wrongful Death Case
http://baileygreer.com When a negligence results in a death, it can be defined as wrongful death. In this video, R. Sadler Bailey explains the details of Tennessee wrongful death cases.

Despite how the wrongful death occurred, there are two ways in Tennessee that wrongful death is compensated.

The first way that wrongful death is compensated is as if the deceased were still alive. The jury is to compensate the deceased person according to their injuries and any potential suffering that was experienced.

The second way that a Tennessee wrongful death case is handled is by compensating the survivors. Survivors can include children, spouses, or other family members of the victim of a wrongful death. Survivors are often the people who are bringing the case to the law firm for representation.

In the second way, there can be more than one statutory heir of the awarded compensation. Sometimes this can cause family members to argue over who deserves more of the compensation. However, in Tennessee, all statutory heirs receive the same amount of money, even though some may have had a better relationship with the deceased than others.

If your family has been a victim of wrongful death, contact a qualified and caring law firm. Call Bailey & Greer today for a free consultation at 888.470.9143. http://www.baileygreer.com/practice_areas/your-legal-rights-and-wrongful-death-lawsuits-in-tennessee.cfm

Premises Liability:

The Various Types of Tennessee Premises Liability Injuries
http://baileygreer.com A slip and fall or a sudden injury can happen to any of us and on anyone’s property. In this informative video, Thomas Greer discusses the details of premises liability cases.

Premises liability occurs when you are injured on someone else’s property. This could be on the property of an acquaintance, a landlord, or other owner of property.

There are many ways that you can be injured on someone else’s property. One common example is slip and fall cases. This may occur in a grocery store because of a spilled drink or on a sidewalk because of ice.

Another way that premises liability cases can occur is when you are injured on your landlord’s property. In Tennessee, landlords are required by law to provide and install smoke detectors, only use licensed professionals to perform electrical repairs, and to maintain a safe premise for the tenant. If a landlord fails to meet one of these requirements, he can be held responsible for your injury.

A third kind of premises liability injury can occur when an injury occurs by a third party while you are on someone else’s property. For example, stores have a duty to ensure your safety while you are on their premises.

If you have been injured and would like to speak to Mr. Greer about your Tennessee premises liability case, call him today at 888.470.9143. http://www.baileygreer.com/practice_areas/memphis-law-firm-represents-victims-of-tennessee-premises-liability.cfm

Legal Malpractice:

Tennessee Legal Malpractice
http://baileygreer.com As in medical situations, in legal situations we seek out the help from those we expect can protect and represent us well. These professionals often have titles and advanced degrees, but they can make many mistakes that lead to legal malpractice. In this video, R. Sadler Bailey discusses his experiences with Tennessee legal malpractice cases.

One of the types of cases the Mr. Bailey enjoys helping people with the most is legal malpractice. He believes that when attorneys make mistakes that cause damages, they should be held accountable.

Legal malpractice is less known and less discussed than other types of cases, like medical malpractice. However, legal malpractice is just as pervasive as medical malpractice. There are even similarities between these two types of malpractice. Mr. Bailey has observed that when malpractice occurs in law, the following cover up and lying can be similar to what happens in medical malpractice. The lawyers may not be truthful with their clients about the mistakes that they made during a case—and these mistakes can cause injury to the clients.

If you have been the victim of legal malpractice, call an attorney who finds gratification and enjoyment in representing legal malpractice cases—call Mr. Bailey for a free consultation at at 888.470.9143.

Workers' Compensation:

Tennessee Workers’ Compensation Lawyer Explains Compensation
http://baileygreer.com In this useful video, R. Sadler Bailey explains how Tennessee workers’ compensation is determined.

If you are wondering if Bailey & Greer handle workers’ compensation cases, the answer is yes. However, the firm has a high bar for accepting this kind of case and usually accepts cases that involve serious injuries.

Workers’ compensation is based on the statutes of Tennessee. These statues attempt to define the worth of various injuries. Currently, the common guideline is determined by the American Medical Association (AMA).

After an injury, the employee will be provided with a list of three doctors (selected by the employer) to choose from. Often, the doctors on this list will be very conservative about the injuries of the worker. And after seeing the injured worker, the doctor will provide his opinion as to what the AMA guideline rating he thinks is appropriate.

In a serious case, Bailey & Greer typically send the injured worker to an independent doctor that is selected by the law firm. This doctor will perform a separate analysis of the injuries and may run additional tests. This doctor will then provide his determination of what the appropriate AMA guideline rating is. It is important to be evaluated by a doctor who is not biased or who does not have an agenda.

If you have been seriously injured at work, contact Mr. Bailey by calling 888.470.9143. Bailey & Greer are here to help you and help make your case successful. http://www.baileygreer.com/practice_areas/tennessee-legal-malpractice-and-how-to-deal-with-it.cfm

Tennessee Personal Injury Lawyer on Time to File a Claim
http://baileygreer.com In this video, Tennessee personal injury lawyer Thomas Greer explains how long you have to file a claim when you are injured. The time allotted to file a claim usually starts from the day that you get injured.

In Tennessee, the statute-of-limitations for personal injury accidents, such as motorcycle accidents, auto accidents, and trucking accidents, are one year from the day of the accident. However, there are exceptions to this rule.

If the injured is under 18 years old, the one-year statute of limitations starts from the day the minor turns 18. For example, if a 15 year old is injured, then the claim can be filed within about 4 years from the date of the injury instead of 1 year.

Another exception to the standard one-year statute is if a person is injured so much so that he is not mentally capable to file a claim within the normal one-year period. In this scenario, additional time may be allotted to the person injured.

While there are exceptions to the rule, it is best to assume that you have one year to file your claim. This allows you to ensure that you claim will be heard.

If you have injured, it is important to seek out a qualified and experienced Tennessee personal injury lawyer like Mr. Greer. He can be reached by calling Bailey & Greer at 888.470.9143. http://baileygreer.com

Acceptance Guidelines for Tennessee Personal Injury Cases
http://baileygreer.com In this video, Tennessee personal injury lawyer Thomas Greer discusses the selection criteria that his law firm uses to determine what cases to represent.

At Bailey & Greer, not all cases are accepted for representation. In fact, a limited amount of cases are chosen by the law firm. This does not mean that you do not have a case, but that, unlike firms that you might have seen in television ads that may have over 100 cases per lawyer, Bailey & Greer is not that kind of firm. Bailey & Greer only represent serious injury cases. Accepting a limited number of cases allows the law firm to devote the proper amount of time to your case. It also allows the Bailey & Greer team to put their focus and resources fully into your case.

Tennessee Limits on Jury Awards Harm those with Serious Injuries
http://www.baileygreer.com In this video clip, taken from the Germantown Public TV series LegalEase, Thomas Greer provides a brief explanation of whether placing limits to jury verdicts will reduce the filing of frivolous lawsuits.

Mr. Greer explains that there is a misconception about whether limiting jury verdict awards in Tennessee will reduce frivolous lawsuits. Most people do not know that there are already protections within the civil justice system that cause frivolous lawsuits to be dismissed by the judge. Rather than preventing frivolous lawsuits, placing an arbitrary cap on damages effects only those people with a legitimate case and serious injuries. By limiting damages, corporations and insurance companies are able to escape personal responsibility and accountability, which causes them to be less safe in the future.
