Slip and fall accidents are among the most common personal injury cases in Memphis. Poorly maintained commercial properties throughout South Memphis, Whitehaven, Orange Mound, and Frayser, and dangerous conditions in commercial spaces across Shelby County create injury risks every day. Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe premises. When they fail, people get hurt. Insurance companies for property owners often use delay, denial, and victim-blame tactics. Tennessee's 1-year SOL makes acting immediately essential. TopDog Law and its co-counsel fight to get you every dollar you deserve.
From poorly maintained commercial properties on South Third Street and Elvis Presley Boulevard in Whitehaven to neglected apartment complexes throughout Orange Mound and Binghampton to dangerous conditions in commercial spaces across South Memphis — we know where dangerous conditions accumulate in Memphis and who is responsible for them. Regional One Health treats serious fall injuries from our communities regularly. Those accidents cause real damage to Memphis families and we fight to get injured people the care and money they deserve.
Property owners and their insurers across Shelby County often use delay, deny, and lowball tactics and try to shift blame onto the injured person. Tennessee's 1-year SOL means they also count on time running out before you act. We know how to leverage the justice system in Shelby County courts to fight back.
IMPORTANT TENNESSEE LEGAL INFORMATION — SLIP AND FALL
Statute of Limitations: 1 year from the date of injury (Tenn. Code Ann. § 28-3-104). Evidence of the dangerous condition can disappear fast — act immediately.
Premises Liability Standard: The property owner must exercise ordinary care to maintain the premises in a reasonably safe condition. Trespassers are owed only a duty not to willfully or wantonly injure.
Government Property (Governmental Tort Liability Act): Claims against the City of Memphis, Shelby County, or other government entities are governed by Tenn. Code Ann. Title 29, Chapter 20 (GTLA). Government immunity is waived for negligent acts but specific notice and filing requirements apply. Given the 1-year SOL, claims against government entities require prompt action.
Comparative Fault — 50% Bar: Modified comparative fault. You can recover if your fault is less than 50%. Award reduced by your fault percentage (Tenn. Code Ann. § 29-39-102(b)).
Noneconomic Damages Cap: $750,000 standard / $1,000,000 catastrophic. Economic damages not capped.
This is a brief summary of commonly applied laws in the jurisdiction. There are often different laws that apply to different circumstances. Once you hire TopDog, your attorney will advise you on the applicable laws.
Insurance companies for property owners may make early low offers because they count on most people not knowing what their slip and fall case is worth — and on Tennessee's 1-year SOL running out before you act. TopDog Law fights for the full recovery — immediately.
