No Upfront Fees – Only Pay if We Win
We understand that financial stress often comes with the aftermath of a car accident. That’s why our firm works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay us nothing unless we win your case. This ensures that you’re never burdened with legal fees during an already challenging time. There are no upfront costs, no hidden fees, and no surprise charges. Our success is tied directly to yours, so you can focus on healing while we handle the legal details. And if we do win your case, your fees will be deducted directly from your settlement so that you never have to pay anything out of pocket.

What You Need To KnoW About Filing a Car Accident Claim
If you’ve been injured in a car accident, there are a few things you need to understand to ensure you’re setting yourself up for a successful claim. Here’s what you need to know:
How Long Will My Car Accident Claim Take to Settle?
The length of your case depends on various factors, such as the severity of your injuries and the complexity of your case. Some cases settle in a few months, while others may take longer if they require court involvement. Our team will work to resolve your case as efficiently as possible, while ensuring you get the compensation you deserve.
How Do I Know if I Should Hire a Lawyer After a Car Accident?
If you’ve been injured, it’s a good idea to speak with a lawyer. Having legal representation ensures that your rights are protected and that you aren’t taken advantage of by insurance companies. A lawyer can also help determine if your case is strong and guide you through the necessary steps.
What Are the Most Common Car Accident Injuries?
Car accidents can cause injuries that may not always be immediately noticeable. Some injuries take days or weeks to fully manifest, which is why it’s critical to get medical care right away. Common injuries include:
- Whiplash and neck injuries
- Head and brain injuries (concussions, TBIs)
- Back injuries and spinal cord damage
- Fractures and broekn bones
- Internal injuries
- Soft tissue damage
- Psychological trauma (anxiety, depression, PTSD)
What should I do if the insurance company offers a settlement?
Before accepting any settlement, talk to an experienced car accident lawyer. Insurance companies often offer lowball settlements to close cases quickly. We’ll review the offer and help you decide whether it’s fair, or if you’re entitled to more compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions
If the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured, your own insurance may help cover the costs. We’ll help you navigate this situation and ensure you don’t get left with the bill.
In Tennessee, not wearing a seatbelt may reduce your compensation, but it doesn’t bar you from receiving any. Tennessee follows a comparative fault rule, so your award will be reduced based on your level of responsibility for the accident. Our team will work hard to minimize any impact on your case.
Some injuries, like soft tissue damage or traumatic brain injuries, may not show symptoms right away. It’s important to see a doctor as soon as possible after the accident. If symptoms appear later, we can adjust your claim to include the new injuries.
Look for a lawyer with experience in car accident cases, a strong track record of successful settlements, and someone who genuinely cares about your well-being. Wettermark Keith offers free consultations to discuss your case and ensure that you’re making the best decision for your future.
