Nashville, TN Legal Support for Slip and Fall Victims

Slip and fall incidents might seem like simple mishaps, but their consequences can be long-lasting. Whether it happens on a slippery grocery store floor in East Nashville, in a poorly maintained stairwell in an apartment complex near Music Row, or in the dimly lit parking garage of a downtown office building, the physical, financial, and emotional toll is real. At Schwed, Adams & McGinley, P.A., we provide legal support for those injured by unsafe property conditions across the greater Nashville area. From Green Hills to Germantown, our attorneys stand up for injured Tennesseans who deserve answers and fair compensation.

Familiarity With Slip and Fall Claims

Nashville is growing rapidly, and with that growth comes increased foot traffic in commercial spaces, apartment complexes, entertainment venues, and shopping centers. These busy environments often lead to oversight in property maintenance, creating hazards that put residents and visitors at risk.

Our firm has helped slip and fall victims across Tennessee recover from life-altering injuries caused by property owner negligence. Whether your fall happened at a well-known retail chain in the Gulch or a boutique hotel in Midtown, we'll apply an aggressive legal strategy tailored to your case.

Extensive Legal and Trial Experience

Slip and fall claims are often met with skepticism by insurers and defense attorneys. That's why it matters who you hire. Our team brings over 200 years of combined trial experience and more than $500 million recovered for injured clients. We are seasoned litigators who don't back down when things get tough—and insurance companies know it.

We approach every case with the mindset that it may go to trial. This preparation often leads to stronger settlements and ensures that if your case does require litigation, we're ready.

What Is a Slip and Fall Accident?

A slip and fall accident occurs when a hazardous condition on someone's property causes a person to lose their balance and fall. These accidents frequently involve:

  • Slippery floors in stores or restaurants without proper signage
  • Cracked or uneven sidewalks in front of businesses
  • Poorly lit staircases or pathways in apartment buildings
  • Damaged railings or steps in public or private venues
  • Spills or leaks left unaddressed in grocery and retail environments
  • Debris or clutter in walkways

Property owners in Nashville—whether they own commercial properties on Broadway or residential units near Belmont—are responsible for maintaining reasonably safe conditions. If they don't, and someone gets hurt, they may be held liable for the damages.

Common Injuries From Slip and Fall Accidents

Falls are one of the leading causes of emergency room visits, and the resulting injuries can range from mild to devastating. We've helped clients recover compensation for injuries such as:

  • Fractured wrists, ankles, hips, or knees
  • Herniated discs and spinal injuries
  • Head trauma, including concussions and TBIs
  • Torn ligaments and tendon damage
  • Back and neck injuries that limit mobility
  • Internal bleeding and soft tissue injuries

These injuries can derail your ability to work, care for loved ones, and maintain your quality of life. Our Nashville slip and fall attorneys work with trusted medical professionals and financial experts to calculate the full scope of damages.

Do Not Trust Insurers

Insurance companies may attempt to downplay your injuries, suggest you were careless, or argue that the hazard was “open and obvious.” These are common tactics meant to minimize payouts. Our firm knows how to counter these strategies. We gather evidence quickly, interview witnesses, and push back hard against lowball offers. Don't let an insurance adjuster define the value of your case. Let us protect your rights and advocate for your full recovery.

Dear Schwed Law Office.

After speaking with Schwed Law, I felt she gave me hope. The minute I gave them my accident report, I was confident I was going to be taken care of. My personal injury left me in a lot of pain. I was frustrated and exhausted. I had horrible headaches, neck and shoulder spasms and many restless nights. This impeded special outings and meetings with family and friends. I knew the bills were going to be taken care of. So I just focused on getting treated for my injury and feeling better. I never once had to call to follow up on anything.

I was so impressed with how fast my case was settled. I am so grateful for how I was treated and cared for. I highly recommend the offices of Schwed Law. Their professionalism and expertise were enough to put me at ease with all my questions and concerns from the beginning.
