Christopher N. Davis, JD, LLM Tax Law
Personal Injury
When an accident or someone else's negligence turns your life upside down, you need an advocate who won't back down. As a Tennessee personal injury lawyer, Chris Davis fights for the compensation and justice his clients deserve.
Insurance companies have teams of attorneys working to minimize what they pay you. You deserve someone equally committed to maximizing what you receive. Chris levels the playing field — handling the legal process so you can focus on recovery.
From the initial investigation through settlement negotiations or trial, Chris advocates diligently on your behalf. He understands the physical, emotional, and financial toll that serious injuries take on individuals and families, and he takes that responsibility seriously.
The Davis Firm handles personal injury cases on a contingency basis — meaning you pay nothing unless Chris wins your case. There is no risk in calling us, and no reason to face this alone.
It depends on the complexity of the case and whether it settles or goes to trial. Many cases resolve within several months through negotiation. Cases involving serious injuries, disputed liability, or uncooperative insurance companies may take longer. Tennessee has a one-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims, so it's important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after an injury to preserve your rights.
The Davis Firm handles personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis — meaning you pay nothing unless we recover on your behalf. There are no upfront costs and no hourly fees. Our fee is a percentage of the recovery, so our interests are directly aligned with yours: we only get paid when you do.
Document everything you can at the scene — photographs, witness contact information, and a written account of what happened while it's fresh. Seek medical attention even if injuries seem minor, as some conditions worsen over days and medical records establish the connection between the accident and your injuries. Avoid giving recorded statements to insurance adjusters before speaking with an attorney. Contact The Davis Firm as soon as possible — Tennessee's one-year statute of limitations moves quickly.
Recoverable damages typically fall into two categories. Economic damages include medical bills, lost wages, and future care costs — losses with a concrete dollar value. Non-economic damages cover pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. Tennessee follows a modified comparative fault rule, meaning your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault, and you cannot recover at all if you are 50% or more responsible. Chris evaluates all categories of damages from the outset to pursue the fullest possible recovery.
