Regardless of the nature of your personal injury, our family of attorneys is dedicated to protecting your legal rights and ensuring you receive full monetary compensation for your injury. Before we can file a personal injury claim on your behalf, we need to confidentially discuss the details of the accident and review important documents.
What is Personal Injury and When Does it Happen?
Usually, a personal injury occurs following a car accident, and unfortunately, the other driver’s insurance company is more concerned about their bottom line than your welfare. We have years of experience in Memphis and around the Mid South dealing with insurance companies, and we fight to ensure that you are treated fairly and receive a fair settlement or court verdict. Shortly after an auto accident, insurance companies often record your statement, interview witnesses, and send experts to evaluate the accident scene before the evidence disappears.
Time is of the essence following a personal injury, and it is important to immediately discuss your matter with an experienced personal injury attorney who can provide assistance on how to proceed with the insurance company or the at-fault party.
The phone call and initial consultation are free. We handle personal injury cases on a contingency basis, meaning we only get paid if you get paid.

- Punitive damages are awarded if extreme negligence can be proven. These are damages awarded in an attempt to make the plaintiff whole.
- Medical damages are awarded and usually include the cost of doctor’s bills associated with an injury.
- In the case of income damages, you may be entitled to compensation for not only the salary that you lost as a result of your injury but also for future wages you would no longer be able to collect on as a result.
- Property loss damages are awarded if personal belongings like a car, furniture, or even clothing are lost as a result of your personal injury case.

Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Cases
Typically, there is a statute of limitations that applies to a personal injury case based on state. In TN, an injured party may seek compensation and damages as far out as a year. However, the sooner you decide to file a lawsuit the quicker we can help you on the road to financial recovery. You may even help someone else avoid injury in the future by holding the offending party responsible.
Does My Situation Qualify?
If you are injured in a car accident, slip and fall on someone else’s property, are bitten by an animal, or hurt by an unsafe product, you may qualify for a personal injury lawsuit. These are just a few examples of instances in which you may seek out a personal injury lawyer. By calling the Chiozza Law Firm you can get a free consultation to determine whether or not you may be entitled to damages due to an injury.
