Our Practice Areas
Tatum & Atkinson Law Firm is dedicated exclusively to personal injury lawsuits, automobile accident claims, and all aspects of personal injury law including insurance claims and litigation. We provide legal representation for individuals who have been injured in accidents or lost a loved one.
Our expertise extends to the long-term implications of serious accidents, including catastrophic injury, wrongful death, or complex insurance claims. Our job as lawyers is to help you throughout the entire process of dealing with your personal injury or motor vehicle accident case.
Personal Injury Law
Personal injury law holds parties that have acted negligently accountable and assists injured people in recovering financially and emotionally. Our attorneys thoroughly investigate every case using an evidence-based approach, and we are committed to achieving full compensation for our clients rather than only trying to obtain quick settlements.
Personal Injury
We assist clients who suffer injuries because of another party’s negligent conduct. We work to recover compensation for clients’ medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and any future long-term care needs, either through a settlement or through litigation if necessary.
Workers’ Compensation
Many employees experience uncertainty about their rights regarding workplace injuries and may not receive necessary benefits. We can assist injured workers with obtaining necessary medical treatment, replacement of lost wages, and any appeals they may need to pursue, as well as make sure that their rights are being protected from any actions taken by an employer or insurance company that may create hindrances for an injured worker.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Property owners must keep an area free from slipping hazards. Our firm represents people who have slipped and fallen due to wet floors, lack of lighting, or improper maintenance by the property owner. We will help you prove liability and recover damages from any injuries sustained.
Wrongful Death
The families of those who have died due to negligence deserve to hold negligent parties accountable. We will represent the surviving family members in a wrongful death action, seeking compensation for funeral expenses, financial losses, and emotional suffering.
Brain Injuries
Traumatic brain injury affects your entire life; if you have sustained a TBI, no matter what type it is, we will work with medical specialists to ensure that all of your cognitive and emotional impairments, as well as any physical impairments, are documented so you can receive the maximum amount of compensation.
Spinal Cord Injuries
If you sustain a spinal cord injury (SCI) or any other injury that causes paralysis, it can often have a lifelong impact. We will pursue claims for the medical treatment and loss of earnings, as well as loss of quality of life due to paralysis or limitation of mobility.
Amputation Injuries
An amputation injury can affect you physically and emotionally for the rest of your life. Our law firm represents clients who have suffered traumatic amputations and provides resources for prosthetic limbs and rehabilitation, and helps secure funds for life-changing expenses associated with limb loss.
Construction Accidents
Construction sites can be dangerous places to work. We represent clients with injuries caused by falls, equipment malfunctions, safety violations (not including those associated with workers’ compensation insurance), and may involve third-party liability cases.
Dog Bites
Dog bites can cause permanent injury and emotional trauma. We represent clients with dog bite cases against irresponsible pet owners and pursue claims for medical expenses, scarring and long-term complications.
Nursing Home Abuse
None of these abuses or neglects are tolerable, and we advocate for those injured by an abusive or neglectful nursing home, including physical harm, malnutrition and emotional abuse.
Premises Liability
Property owners must keep their premises in a safe condition, and we pursue claims for injuries that occur as a result of unsafe conditions, inadequate security, or preventable hazards that cause serious injury to guests lawfully on the property.
Defective Products
The manufacturers of products must be held accountable for ensuring those products are safe for consumers. We pursue claims against manufacturers for products that are defective due to inadequate design, manufacture, and failure to provide warnings for those products that may cause injury or death.
Dangerous Drugs
We represent individuals who have been injured by dangerous medications produced by pharmaceutical companies that failed to perform adequate testing prior to marketing and did not disclose all of the potential harmful effects associated with those drugs.
Daycare Accidents
All children deserve to be in a place that is safe. We handle daycare injury cases due to negligence, dangerous conditions, and abuse so that families may pursue justice and hold accountable those responsible.
Sexual Assault
Sexual assault or sexual harassment cases require compassion as well as strength. We assist survivors of sexual violence in pursuing civil claims against both the offender and the institution that failed to protect them from harm.
Negligence
Negligence is the foundation of personal injury law. Our job is to determine if someone has failed in their duty of care to you and seek compensation when an individual or entity fails to take reasonable steps to protect you from harm.
Motor Vehicle Accident Representation
Motor vehicle accident cases typically have complicated liability issues, a variety of insurance policies, and strong defensive strategies utilized by the respective insurance companies. This makes the insurance company very quick to limit their payout to the injured party, creating an opportunity for an experienced attorney at the very beginning.
In preparing for trial, our law firm will take every necessary step to ensure that the insurers treat claims seriously and prepare the claimant to qualify for the highest potential recovery.
Car Accidents
Our law office represents people injured in automobile accidents caused by negligent drivers, speeding drivers, and reckless driving. Our goal is to obtain compensation for our clients for their injuries related to medical expenses and lost wages.
Truck Accidents
Truck accident cases are complicated as they involve federal regulations and corporate insurers. We handle difficult claims against trucking companies and insurers responsible for devastating commercial vehicle collisions.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists are much more likely to be injured than any other type of accident victim. Unfortunately, many motorcyclists also face bias when they are involved in an accident with a reckless, careless, or negligent driver, hazardous road conditions, or defective motorcycle equipment. Our attorneys strongly believe that all motorcyclists deserve aggressive representation, regardless of their past, history, or reputation.
Uber Accidents
Rideshare accidents have more than one level of insurance. In cases where someone else has been injured by an Uber ride, we help clients understand Uber’s coverage to compensate them for their injuries.
Lyft Accidents
There are unique challenges that arise with Lyft rideshare accidents. We thoroughly investigate the various coverage periods and liability of Lyft and ensure that we represent the best interests of all passengers and drivers injured due to the actions of Lyft drivers.
Rideshare Accidents
Rideshare accidents commonly involve numerous parties and multiple insurers, which create unique challenges to obtaining the maximum recovery for injured clients. We work diligently to identify all parties responsible for the injuries suffered by our clients.
Hit and Run Accidents
When you are involved in a hit and run incident, it may cause you additional difficulty in recovering from your injuries. We help you with making claims against the uninsured motorist and looking for any other available compensation.
Drunk Driving Accidents
Drunk driving incidents occur when someone is under the influence of alcohol. The responsible party will be legally liable for the injuries caused by their irresponsible actions while they are under the influence.
Uninsured Motorist Claims
If you have suffered injuries from an uninsured or underinsured motorist, it can be complicated for you to get compensated for your damages. We will help you with your claim against your own insurance policy for compensation for your injuries.
Pedestrian Accidents
We represent clients that have been struck by a negligent driver while crossing the street, in the intersection, and/or in residential neighborhoods.
Bicycle Accidents
Cyclists are at risk of sustaining life-threatening injuries from a negligent driver or an unsafe condition. We represent clients that have been injured by a negligent driver, a dooring incident or a road hazard that led to their injury.
ATV Accidents
ATV incidents can occur due to a defect in the equipment or negligence in the operation of the equipment. Our firm represents clients that have suffered significant injuries as a result of being involved in an ATV incident.
Boating Accidents
Boating accidents follow different rules than other types of accidents. We handle injury claims arising from operator mistakes, alcohol use, and unsafe conditions on the vessel itself.
Train Accidents
Train accidents can be devastating. We help people who have suffered injuries due to negligence by train companies, unsafe crossings, or other types of transportation failures.
Aviation Accidents
Aviation accidents require expert investigators to properly evaluate the incident. We work with experts to help clients in accidents caused by mechanical failure, pilot error, or regulatory violations.
Golf Cart Accidents
At the Tatum & Atkinson Law Firm, we represent individuals injured in golf cart accidents. The majority of these accidents happen on private property, such as a golf course or resort. Injuries can result from negligent operation by the operator of the golf cart or unsafe conditions on the property.
