Winning a Tennessee Slip and Fall Case
How hard is it to win a slip and fall case in Tennessee? Very hard! People often think that if they are injured at a business the store will automatically pay for any medical bills or damages. Well that is not the case. Just like if someone fell at your house just because they were clumsy you will not have to pay for their damages. To win a fall case you have to show the business created the danger or knew (should have know) about the danger and did nothing to fix it or worn people about it. Not easy. I was recently interviewed about these cases and how to increase your chances of winning them at trial. You can watch the interview below:
