ACCIDENT & PERSONAL INJURY

• Auto/Trailer-Tractor Accidents
  
  Auto Accidents:  
  Beck & Beck Attorneys at Law, PLLC, has extensive experience in advocating for people injured in automobile accidents. 
  
  We know how to effectively negotiate with both the insurance company and the at-fault driver. Our success rate is high regarding challenging the attempts of the insurance company to downplay the extent or cause of injuries.  This is a result of our aboveboard client representation; we establish liability so that the logistics of the accident may be clearly understood by the decision-makers. 
  
  We also help our clients effectively communicate with insurance adjustors and investigators to make sure that all claims are completed properly and that deadlines are met.
  
  Tractor-Trailer Accidents:  
  Truck and tractor-trailer accidents require special skills to process successfully. 
  
  At Beck & Beck Attorneys at Law, PLLC, we know that damages caused by these types of accidents may involve bringing suit against more than one defendant (i.e. individuals, transportation companies and their insurers.)
  We understand that claims for wrongful death, personal injury and property damage may also be necessary. 
  
  Because we recognize the unique issues associated with these large-scale accidents, we stay current on trucking laws (i.e. logging hours, rest periods, maintenance requirements, training), so that we can provide the best legal representation possible for our client.
   

• Bicycle/Motorcycle Accidents
  
  Bicycle Accidents: 
  Bicycling has become one of the most convenient and inexpensive methods of travel.  Unfortunately, many automobile drivers do not respect the right of a bicyclist to share the roads. 
  
  Because cyclists are often the most vulnerable people in traffic, bicycle accidents can be the most catastrophic.  Should you suffer injuries in a bicycle accident, you could be facing mounting medical bills, long-term disabilities, or you may even be rendered unable to work at all. 
  
  Beck & Beck Attorneys at Law, PLLC, can assist you in identifying your losses and determining the monetary resources you need for future recovery and security.  We are experienced  in handling a wide range of personal injury claims, and we will use all the resources at our disposal to seek to recover the compensation that you deserve.
  
  Motorcycle Accidents: 
  Motorcycle accidents involve different dynamics from those of other types of motor vehicles, often resulting in very serious injuries for the rider. 
  
  Should you be injured in a motorcycle accident, Beck & Beck Attorneys at Law, Inc., PLLC, know how to determine your unique damages, to both bike and self. 
  
  We can assist you in receiving full compensation for your injuries, for lost wages and for all the other ramifications of a motorcycle accident.  We can help you find the support and resources that you (and/or your family) need to deal with the potentially life-altering results of a serious injury.
   

• Wrongful Death
  
  If you find yourself struggling with a wrongful death situation, Beck & Beck Attorneys at Law, PLLC, can help you make sense of the legal and financial ramifications of your loss. 
  
  We can address the issues you may face as a husband or wife, son or daughter, of those killed in fatal accidents of all types (i.e. car accidents, medical errors, defective products). 
  
  Let us help you find a way to secure financial compensation to assist with expenses related to the wrongful death of your family member.
   

• Product Liability
  
  Thousands of consumers suffer serious injuries or are killed from defective products every year. Most of these injuries could be avoided if the distributor or manufacturer took important steps to ensure the safety of their consumers.
  
  Beck & Beck Attorneys at Law, PLLC, have experience in assisting people who have been injured by unsafe products, or the survivors of those who may have died as a result of said injuries. We understand that when a consumer is injured in a product liability incident, he or she may be entitled to receive lost wages due to loss of physical capacity, pain and mental anguish.  Compensation for medial expenses, as well as punitive damages to punish defendants in those cases involving particularly reckless disregard for public safety, may also be available. 
  
  When you retain the services of Beck & Beck Attorneys at Law, PLLC, you retain attorneys who are dedicated to your cause and who will work hard to achieve positive results for you.
   

• Injury To Children Due To Accidents Or Negligence
  
  Each year, millions of children suffer injuries due to accidents.  Because anyone under the age of 18 is ineligible to file a lawsuit, this means that the parent or guardian must seek legal assistance on behalf of the child. 
  
  Beck & Beck Attorneys at Law, PLLC, are more than qualified to help you make certain that the minor in your care has a voice in the legal system. 
  
  If a child under 18 years of age has been injured due to accident or negligence, we can provide you with sensitive, expert assistance in determining what will best help you protect the injured child, whether it be obtaining adequate future care or being awarded a settlement to help with lifelong disabilities.

WORK-RELATED INJURIES

• Worker's Compensation Claims
  
  If you have been injured on the job, you may have a legal claim to compensation, including punitive damages. 
  
  Beck & Beck Attorneys at Law, PLLC, will deal directly with the insurance company or workers' compensation agencies to fight for your maximum benefits, especially if your compensation has been delayed or denied. 
  
  Already, we have helped many people receive the worker's compensation benefits to which they are entitled.  We can do the same for you.
   

• Permanent/Vocational/Occupational Disability
  
  Permanent Disability: 
  Most workers recover from their work-related injuries, but others continue to experience medical problems.  If your physician states that you will never recover completely and you will always be somewhat limited in your ability to work, you have a permanent disability. 
  
  This means that you may be eligible for permanent disability benefits.  Let Beck & Beck Attorneys at Law, PLLC, help you get the benefits you should be given to promote a positive quality of life.
  
  Vocational/Occupational Disability: 
  A disability due to a work-related accident is not only devastating to the employee, but it affects family members and friends, as well. 
  
  Under the Tennessee Workers' Compensation Law, the state requires that all workers who have suffered occupational disabilities (permanent or temporary; partial or full) receive two-thirds of their wages for a period of up to 400 weeks. 
  
  This law is designed to alleviate the panic and grief usually associated with an individual becoming disabled on the job, because bill payments and daily expenses do not disappear during times of employment as a result of a disability. 
  
  If you have questions about your eligibility for worker's compensation, call Beck & Beck Attorneys at Law, PLLC.  We can help you not only get the answers you need, but we can give you the legal representation you should have to confront serious vocational/occupational disability issues.

SERIOUS INJURY

• Medical Malpractice
  
  Medical Malpractice occurs when a doctor or other health care provider fails to follow the proper standard of care and injures or kills a patient. 
  
  The costs associated with medical errors are staggering. 
  
  Beck & Beck Attorneys at Law, PLLC, realize that medical malpractice involves much more than suffering a medical injury; it frequently involves a breach of trust between patients and their physicians. 
  
  Because medical malpractice is a highly complex field of law, a lawyer must possess not only sound legal knowledge, judgment and experience, but also familiarity with the health care profession and medical science to be successful in representing malpractice victims. 
  
  We have those credentials, and more, at Beck & Beck Attorneys at Law, PLLC.  Let us put our skills and experience to work for you.
   

• Nursing Home Neglect/Abuse
  
  As a society, we trust nursing homes to provide food, shelter, and nursing care for the vulnerable elderly and others who cannot adequately care for themselves.
  
  But, when these caregivers break our trust, they should be held accountable. 
  
  If your loved one has been abused or neglected in a nursing home, assisted living facility, or any other type of care center, Beck & Beck Attorneys at Law, PLLC, can help you recover monetary compensation for his or her injuries, pain, and suffering.
  
  We will fight aggressively on behalf of nursing home residents who have been injured on-site, because we believe that all care providers should abide by established and stringent standards.
   

• Premise Liability
  
  Property owners and business establishments have a duty to provide a safe environment for individuals who step on to their premises.
  
  The term "premises liability" generally refers to accidents that occur due to the negligent maintenance or unsafe or dangerous conditions on property owned by someone other than the accident victim (i.e. uneven floor surfaces, broken sidewalks, uneven elevators, broken steps, plus slips and falls, dog bites, swimming pool accidents and dangerous chemicals exposure.) 
  
  If you, or someone for whom you care, has suffered a personal injury as a result of negligence, call Beck & Beck Attorneys at Law, PLLC.  We will guide you through the complex maze of premises liability laws and issues related to PL claims.

INDIVIDUAL SERVICES

  Beck & Beck Attorneys at Law, PLLC, are recognized leaders in estate litigation because we provide efficient, prompt and informed service to our clients.
  
  By using our extensive experience as a foundation, we are able to offer expert legal representation in disputes over the legitimacy of a will, trust, or power of attorney, or the administration of an estate or trust, even the appointment of a guardian or conservator.
  
  Through close personal attention, courtesy, and loyalty, we will ensure that you understand your options regarding an estate and the steps you  need to take to protect your interests when you come to us for help.
   

• Probate Wills:
  
  You have probably heard how important it is to leave a will with detailed instructions following your death. There are complicated steps that need to be taken to complete this process.
  
  Beck & Beck Attorneys at Law, PLLC, have helped many individuals look ahead to the future to establish a positive financial outlook for their beneficiaries through estate planning, and we can do the same for you.
  
  Generally, the property of a person who dies has to go through probate before it can be distributed to the intended heirs. Probate can operate formally, with court supervision, or informally, without court supervision.
  
  In either case, the first question the probate court must answer is whether the decedent left a will that is valid when compared to the standards required by law. If so, the probate court will oversee the process of settling the estate according to the terms of the will.

  This term refers to actually distributing the assets of the estate in order to satisfy any creditors, and to disburse the remaining estate assets to those whom the decedent intended to receive or inherit the property.
  
  Beck & Beck Attorneys at Law, PLLC, understands all the technicalities involved in the probation of wills, and we can help you comprehend what  is involved to arrive at a positive outcome.
