We collect that evidence before it disappears and build a case that answers the claim that you came out of nowhere.

Markings, signals, and lighting at the time of the crash.
-
Vehicle Data and Damage
Speed, braking, and impact evidence from the vehicle.
-
Witness Accounts
Independent witnesses can confirm what drivers deny.
-
Crash Reconstruction
Experts establish sightlines, timing, and fault.
What can a pedestrian accident claim include?

-

-
Other Out-of-Pocket Losses
Damaged belongings and related expenses.
Every case is different. These categories are possible recovery, not guarantees.

We were very happy with the outcome of our case and that was due to the excellent representation of Tim Bowden and Michael Gaines. They understood the nuances of our case, explained to us our case in detail, and worked in our best interest at all times.

Frequently asked questions
That claim can often be tested against video, signal timing, crosswalk markings, and the physical evidence on the vehicle.
Being outside a crosswalk does not automatically end a claim. Tennessee law considers the conduct of everyone involved.
Hit-and-run claims can still proceed. Video and witnesses may identify the vehicle, and your own uninsured motorist coverage may apply.
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis and you pay no attorney's fee unless we recover compensation for you.
