Firm Information
Overview
The McMahan Law Firm in Chattanooga, Tennessee, represents individuals and families dealing with the consequences of serious injuries, wrongful death and disabilities. Our practice includes personal injury, auto accidents, premises liability, workers' compensation and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) claims. With more than 60 years of combined legal experience among attorneys Jay Kennamer and Brent Burks and a team of 11 lawyers, we bring substantial litigation experience and individualized attention to the people we serve.
We understand that an unexpected injury can create immediate concerns about medical treatment, lost income, household expenses and what the future may hold. Our role is to help clients understand their legal options while pursuing compensation for the losses they have experienced. We listen carefully to the circumstances of each case, investigate the available evidence and work to build a well-supported claim. Whether an injury occurred in a vehicle collision, on another person's property or in the workplace, we consider the circumstances and damages involved in determining an appropriate course of action.
Our attorneys serve clients throughout Tennessee and northwest Georgia, assisting with both injury-related claims and applications for disability benefits. When a loved one's death results from another party's actions, we help surviving family members understand their rights and pursue a claim for their losses. For clients seeking workers' compensation or SSDI benefits, we provide guidance through processes that can involve extensive documentation and detailed legal requirements. When litigation becomes necessary, our trial experience allows us to prepare cases with the possibility of proceeding to court in mind from the outset.
At the McMahan Law Firm, we believe access to legal representation should not depend on whether an injured person can afford an upfront legal fee. We offer free initial consultations and, in applicable contingency-fee matters, collect a fee only when we obtain a recovery for the client. Throughout a case, we strive to remain accessible, explain developments clearly and ensure our clients understand the decisions before them.
For more than three decades, the McMahan Law Firm has served people facing difficult legal and financial circumstances. If you or someone you love has suffered an injury, lost a family member because of another's actions or needs assistance pursuing disability or workers' compensation benefits, contact our Chattanooga team. Let us listen to your story, explain your options and help you take the next step toward seeking the recovery you may be entitled to.
