What to Look for in a Tennessee Car Accident Lawyer

Helping you pick the right attorney for your claim

After a car accident, it is important to make sure the lawyer or firm you choose focuses on injuries and accidents caused by collisions. You should select an attorney with experience handling auto accident cases and a strong reputation helping accident victims. Additionally, it is very important that your attorney knows how to deal with insurance companies, in and out of court. Lastly, you should be sure the firm you deal with has an extensive knowledge of the law. At the law firm of Massengill, Caldwell & Coughlin, P.C., our attorneys meet all of these criteria and work to exceed your expectations. We represent clients in Tennessee and Virginia from our office in Bristol.

Experience dealing with car insurance companies

As anyone who has dealt with an insurer knows, they tend to make things as difficult as possible. They profit by charging customers premiums and then paying out the smallest possible amount in claims. In many instances, they treat policyholders with less respect than they give to attorneys. This is because they know that experienced attorneys have the tools to hold them accountable in court if necessary. We have been dealing with insurance companies for decades. Whether it is on the phone or in court, we won’t back down when dealing with insurers.

Knowledge of the law

It is essential that your attorney has experience with the procedural law that applies in Tennessee courts. Procedural law governs every piece of paperwork, every deadline and every step involved in filing and litigating an injury claim. Our experienced attorneys know Tennessee civil procedure and will get your claim filed in the right place at the right time. Once your case has started, our experience with substantive law helps us argue in your favor. The smallest problem with filing or the most minor point of law can have a huge impact in your case. You should trust your case to attorneys who represent car accident victims for a living.
