It costs absolutely nothing to see if you have a case
The potential for accidents and injuries is all around us. However, oftentimes, they’re completely preventable. In just one reporting year, Shelby County witnessed a staggering 35,031 total traffic accidents. More heart-rending is the number 8,394, representing the individuals who sustained injuries in these incidents.
Beyond these figures is the substantial economic burden these accidents place on the state and its residents. Tennessee faces some of the highest healthcare costs in the nation, but the financial stress doesn’t stop there, either. From medical expenses, loss of income, property damages, to indirect costs like increased insurance premiums, the ripple effects of these accidents reach far and wide. The actual dollar amount tied to these accidents runs into millions, but the real cost is immeasurable when considering the emotional, physical, and psychological toll on victims and their families.
At TopDog Law, we understand that the true cost of your accident is more than just a number — it’s your life. Through our practice, we’ve helped countless individuals find local attorneys to handle their complex claims. The attorneys we work with reach positive outcomes for their clients’ situations after someone else’s negligence threatened to take it all away.
The Memphis personal injury attorneys in TopDog Law’s legal network stand ready to help. Armed with compassion and a dedication to justice, they work tirelessly to ensure that the real costs – both tangible and intangible – of these accidents are recognized and addressed.

In personal injury cases, demonstrating negligence is fundamental to your victory. A successful claim hinges on the ability to prove that another party’s carelessness caused your injury. Here’s a streamlined guide to how we achieve this for our clients.
The first step is to determine that the defendant had a duty of care toward the plaintiff. Essentially, this means they had a legal responsibility to ensure safety or well-being. For instance, drivers have a duty to obey traffic laws and operate their vehicles safely to protect others on the road.
After establishing the duty of care, your lawyer must prove that the defendant breached this duty. This breach could be an action they took or failed to take. For example, if a store owner is aware of a spill on the floor and does nothing to clean it up or warn customers, they have breached their duty of care.
It’s crucial to draw a direct line between the defendant’s breach of duty and the injury sustained. This step involves proving that if it weren’t for the defendant’s negligence, the injury would not have occurred. Using medical records, witness testimonies, expert opinions, and other forms of evidence can be instrumental in making this connection.
Finally, tangible evidence of the damages incurred is paramount. This evidence can include medical bills, proof of lost income, or documentation of other expenses or losses directly related to the injury. Tennessee follows a comparative negligence rule, meaning if the injured party is found partially at fault, their compensation can be reduced by their percentage of fault. Your lawyer will work to ensure that you’re able to collect as much compensation as possible and will mount a strong defense to attempts to minimize your recovery or exaggerate your share of fault.
There’s no way to determine how much your unique claim is worth until you speak to a trusted attorney. However, you can rest assured that they will fight for your right to recover every penny that you’re due. Understanding your right to compensation in full is the cornerstone of recovery and asserting control. A personal injury lawsuit is not just a claim—it’s a definitive stand against injustice
The lawyers in TopDog Law’s network are adept at dealing with insurance companies and the host of tactics they use to minimize payouts. Your lawyer acts as your shield, ensuring that insurers don’t take advantage of your situation.
Some of the losses for which you may collect compensation include:
In addition to these tangible losses, your compensation can also accommodate the emotional challenges you confront after an accident. These non-economic damages can compensate you for emotional distress, pain and suffering, and more.
A settlement may not be able to bring back what you’ve lost, but it can give you the tools you need for a smoother and more stable recovery.
Your personal injury attorney will ensure that every avenue of compensation is pursued aggressively and thoroughly, solidifying your path to recovery and justice.
The path to securing rightful compensation after a personal injury can be filled with challenges and complexities. Having a skilled attorney at your side simplifies this journey, ensuring your rights are safeguarded from start to finish. Here’s how the personal injury lawyers in our network can give you the tools you need to fight for recovery:
Personal injury law has numerous nuances and specifics. An attorney has a thorough understanding of these aspects and ensures that every aspect of your case is meticulously addressed.
In Tennessee, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is generally one year from the date of the injury. This means you have a limited window to file a lawsuit. As soon as you enlist our services, we’ll connect you with a local lawyer who will spring to action, gathering the required documentation and preserving your right to seek compensation.
Insurance companies often aim to minimize payouts. Your attorney can skillfully negotiate on your behalf and will handle all communications, aiming to secure the best possible compensation for your injuries.
From gathering evidence to interviewing witnesses and consulting with medical professionals, your lawyer will meticulously build a compelling case to support your claims and evaluate what your case is worth.
Suffering any injury is taxing, let alone an injury that was due to someone else’s reckless behavior. An attorney provides consistent guidance and support, helping you make informed decisions and alleviating some of the stress associated with your injuries.
Entrusting your case to a dedicated lawyer like those in TopDog Law’s network not only enhances your chances of a favorable outcome but also allows you to focus on healing, recovery, and the support of your loved ones.
To put it simply, the answer is nothing. The attorneys in TopDog Law’s network operate on a contingency fee basis. Their legal fees are contingent upon the outcome of the case. In simpler terms, your attorney only gets paid if they win your case or secure a settlement.
We believe that everyone deserves access to quality legal services and top-notch representation. The attorneys we work with are committed to prioritizing their clients’ needs. Their contingency fee structure underscores their dedication to achieving the best outcomes without adding financial strain to the stress and injuries you’re already enduring.
When someone’s negligent actions harm you or a loved one, you deserve compensation for all your losses. Don’t enter into this fight alone. TopDog Law has offices and lawyers nationwide ready to stand by your side and fight for you.

Not necessarily. The majority of personal injury cases is resolved outside of the courtroom through negotiations and settlements. When both parties can reach a mutual agreement on the terms and compensation, the case can be settled without the need for a trial. However, if the defendant's offer doesn't adequately cover the damages, it may be in your best interest to proceed to court. Your attorney will advise you on the best course of action based on the specific details of your case and will always prioritize your best interests, empowering you at every stage.
Tennessee operates under the modified comparative negligence rule. Under this system, if you are found to be partially at fault for your injuries, your total compensation may be reduced by the percentage of your fault. If you are determined to be 50% or more at fault, you may be ineligible to receive any compensation. For this reason, among many, it’s absolutely essential consult with an attorney who can provide insight into how fault may be determined in your specific situation.
The compassionate lawyers at our law firm understand that pursuing justice after a negligent act involves much more than just financial compensation, and we're here to ensure that your pain and suffering, loss of companionship, and other non-economic damages are also compensated to the fullest extent possible.
The timeline for a personal injury case varies widely based on several factors. These include the complexity of the case, how smoothly negotiation goes, the amount of evidence available, and the court's schedule, among others. Some straightforward cases might be resolved in a matter of months, especially if both parties are eager to reach a settlement. In contrast, more intricate cases, or those that end up going to trial, can take several years to reach a conclusion. Your attorney will make sure that you’re always informed about your case’s developments, so you’re never caught off guard or left in the dark.
In some states, comparative negligence or modified comparative negligence rules may limit your ability to seek compensation on behalf of a loved one if their liability in the accident exceeds a certain percentage. However, working with an experienced personal injury attorney can greatly increase the likelihood that you'll still be able to recover compensation. Speak to a knowledgeable lawyer to find out how your particular circumstances might affect your case.
Yes, it's not uncommon for injuries to manifest days, weeks, or even longer after an accident, especially with conditions like concussions or internal injuries. What's essential is to seek medical attention as soon as you’re injured, even if you don’t think you have any lasting injuries. Documenting your medical visits and the onset of abny late-appearing symptoms can be instrumental when building your case.
While Tennessee's statute of limitations generally allows one year from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit, the discovery of new injuries can sometimes affect this timeframe. Speak to an attorney as soon as possible to understand your rights and the best course of action in such cases.
