Over the years we have pursued wrongful death cases in a wide variety of contexts, including trucking collisions, car crashes, industrial explosions, exposure to harmful chemicals, nursing home neglect, defective products and many others. Essentially, a legal recovery for wrongful death is available whenever someone’s negligence legally causes the death of another.
Fraud
The federal government has dramatically increased its efforts to combat healthcare fraud, including the creation of the Health Care Fraud Prevention and Enforcement Action Team (HEAT), a joint effort between the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Department of Justice (DOJ).
Barrett Law Office, PLLC’s attorneys maintain a personal injury practice on behalf of plaintiffs. Personal injury encompasses a wide array of torts, arising from such areas as automotive collisions (car accidents and truck accidents), exposure of humans to toxic contaminants (toxic torts), medical malpractice, premises liability, and physical injury caused by defective products (products liability). Through such causes of action as negligence, gross negligence, and those arising pursuant to statutory authority, the objective of a plaintiff’s attorney in a personal injury lawsuit is to secure compensation for the client from the wrongdoer for the harm inflicted.
Property Damage
Welcome to the Barrett Law Office. We represent individuals and small businesses in a wide variety of legal matters. Our lawyers defend the rights of whistleblowers and assist them in seeking recovery under the federal and state False Claims Acts. Our firm also maintains a robust personal injury practice, with particular focus on cases involving serious bodily injury and wrongful death arising from such events as motor vehicle accidents (e.g., 18-wheeler collisions, tire failure, and SUV rollovers); health problems and property damage caused by hazardous chemical contamination (toxic torts); and physical harm inflicted by defective products. We also litigate claims in the areas of consumer protection, antitrust, and breach of contract. While our plaintiff’s practice features representation of clients in Tennessee, we continue to serve clients throughout the country as well.
These cases, particularly where serious injuries are involved, often become more complex than is commonly understood due to the need for expert testimony. In the case of an automotive accident where the physical facts concerning the actions of motorists and movement of vehicles are in dispute, for example, expert accident reconstruction is frequently necessary together with the testimony of an expert in the field. Dangerously defective products are often evaluated by engineering experts hired by attorneys. Specialized medical professionals (such as neurologists or neuropsychologists in the event of brain injury) are commonly relied on as experts to evaluate the nature and degree of injury, as well as prospects for rehabilitation and recovery. Economists can be called on to quantify precisely the monetary damages at issue in a personal injury action.
