I broke my femur bone last year 10/2019, although I was aware in my case it was going to be hard to prove a slip and fall. Attorney Parker reassured me him and his team were going to do the best they can. Him and his team (Ms.Brittany and Ms.Denise) were amazing in handling my case. They were very informative & attentive, kept me updated on my case, and assisted me with any questions I were inquiring about. Thank you NST so much!!! I am very appreciative and satisfied with my outcome. If I could give you all 10 stars I would. You guys ROCK!!!✨
My experience with Nahon, Saharovich & Trotz was wonderful. Toni & Lisa was always nice & patient whenever I needed assistance. Abbey made our experience even great at the end, with a lasting impression. Thanks for representing our family. (Jamie Hillard)

Every Tennessee slip and fall case is different. Some are settled in weeks, while others might take a year or longer. Sometimes, lawyers and insurance companies representing defendants intentionally drag out proceedings. They hope plaintiffs won’t have the resources to battle indefinitely and will settle for a smaller offer.
At NST Law, we don’t settle for these tactics and know how to fight for your interests and full compensation. Call The Champs at NST Law, and you’ll be in direct contact with a lawyer who will give you a free case evaluation and let you know how to best proceed under the circumstances.
There are a few steps to take after a slip and fall accident in Nashville that can help you keep yourself safe and protect your legal interests.
One of our experienced attorneys can walk you through filing a slip and fall case in Nashville. Steps your attorney will take on your behalf include:
Slip and fall accidents involve multiple legal principles specific to Tennessee. These include Tennessee’s premises liability rules, comparative fault principles, and the statute of limitations deadline.
If your slip and fall injury occurred due to a hazard the property owner reasonably should have known about and failed to correct, talk to a Nashville premises liability lawyer about your legal options. Premises liability cases occur when a person is hurt on a property due to the owner’s negligence. Property owners owe a duty of care to visitors to maintain their property in a reasonably safe condition and eliminate potential hazards. This is particularly true for customers, to whom property owners legally owe the highest duty of care.
A court could find you partially responsible for injuries you suffered in your slip and fall accident. Under Tennessee’s comparative fault laws, plaintiffs found partially liable can still recover damages and compensation for their injuries. If you are found partly responsible, any compensation you receive will be reduced by your percentage of fault, and if the percentage of fault assigned to you is equal to or greater than 50 percent, you cannot recover any damages.
Compensation for damages in a Nashville slip and fall case may include:
In rare cases, you may also be eligible for punitive damages. A judge may order compensation for punitive damages if the defendant’s reckless or malicious conduct caused your injury.
One of our experienced attorneys can help you determine the damages you may be eligible to receive.
You have a limited time to file a slip and fall claim in Nashville. Slip and fall injuries are covered by Tennessee’s personal injury statute of limitations, which sets a deadline of one year from the date of the accident to sue. After the deadline has passed, you lose the ability to sue.
Tennessee’s time limit is one of the shortest in the country for injury cases, meaning you must act fast. Reach out to our Nashville slip and fall attorneys immediately to avoid missing your chance to file for compensation.
Questions we often receive about slip and fall accidents include:
Get medical help right away, even if you don’t think you’re seriously hurt. Take photos or videos of the hazard that caused your fall and any visible injuries. If there are witnesses, get their contact information. Report the incident to the property owner or manager before leaving.
Slip and fall injuries are covered by Tennessee’s personal injury statute of limitations. You have one year from the date of the injury to file a claim for slip and fall injuries.
Yes, it’s possible to sue the city of Nashville for a slip and fall injury. However, many factors come into play when suing the city, including government immunity rules, damages caps, and determining liability. The attorneys at NST Law can help you through every aspect of a case against a government entity in Nashville.
At NST Law, we work exclusively on contingency. This means we don’t charge you anything unless we win your case. You don’t deal with up-front fees or other expenses when working with our attorneys. You only pay if we win your case.
The value of a slip and fall settlement depends on the circumstances of your case, particularly the severity of your injuries. There is no “one-size-fits-all” answer for compensation you could receive in a given case.
Negotiating a slip and fall settlement can be complicated. It involves communicating with insurance companies to determine a fair compensation amount and ensure your settlement gets paid out. Personal injury cases are typically resolved by settlement without going to court. However, our attorneys are always ready to take cases to trial if negotiations fall apart.
If you’ve been hurt in a slip and fall accident, don’t wait to pursue your legal options. Filing a claim as soon as possible helps you preserve your right to fight for fair compensation.
