Our Promise: No Win, No Fee

Does hiring a legal team feel financially out of reach? With Wettermark Keith, it doesn’t have to be. We built our business on this one simple truth: legal services shouldn’t just be available to the wealthy. Instead, we believe that accessible legal care is quality legal care. Our business model was created to serve everyone. Until you win your case, you don’t pay us a cent. When you work with our team, affordability isn’t just an empty promise - it’s a guarantee.

By Your Side From Start to Finish

If you’ve never experienced the legal process, it can be difficult to know where to turn without a guide. At Wettermark Keith, we don’t just understand the journey, we know it inside and out. Every step of the way, we’re here with clear answers, steady support, and a strategy designed to take you straight to success.

Straightforward Help. Powerful Results.

Getting the legal support you need shouldn’t feel complicated. With over two decades of experience, we know how to cut through the confusion and make the process simple. From your first call to the final resolution, we’ll keep you informed, confident, and in control—while we fight for the outcome you deserve.

Focused on Your Financial and Physical Recovery

Medical expenses can pile up fast after an injury—ongoing care, therapy, prescriptions, and more. That’s why we fight for more than just your compensation. We also negotiate your medical bills to help lift the financial burden, giving you the space and peace of mind to focus on healing.

You Don’t Pay Unless We Win

Worried about the cost of legal help? You don’t have to be. Our no-win, no-fee policy means you’ll never pay upfront or out-of-pocket. We only get paid when you do—because you deserve trusted legal advocacy without added stress.

Breaking Down Personal Injury Compensation

You don’t need to navigate the legal maze alone—or get bogged down in complicated terms. At Wettermark Keith, we believe you deserve answers, not confusion. That’s why we break it down clearly, so you can understand exactly what you’re entitled to and how we’ll fight to get it for you.

Personal injury compensation is meant to restore what was lost—physically, financially, and emotionally. Here’s what that can look like:

Medical Expenses

From ER visits and surgeries to physical therapy and long-term care, you can recover compensation for both current and future medical costs related to your injury. We make sure nothing gets overlooked.

Lost Wages & Future Earnings

If your injury keeps you out of work—or will affect your ability to earn in the future—we fight to recover your lost income and protect your financial future.

Property Damage

When accidents damage your car or personal belongings, we work to ensure you’re reimbursed for repairs or replacements, so you’re not left covering the costs on your own.

Pain and Suffering

Your injury isn’t just physical—it affects your day-to-day life. We seek compensation for the chronic pain, emotional stress, and life changes you’ve been forced to deal with.

Emotional and Psychological Trauma

An accident can leave deep emotional scars. Whether it’s PTSD, anxiety, or mental stress, we’ll make sure the emotional impact of your injury is recognized and valued.

Loss of Consortium

If your injury has strained your relationships or altered your ability to connect with loved ones, we’ll advocate for compensation that reflects that loss.

Filing A Personal Injury Claim: What You Need To Know

If you’re at the start of your personal injury journey, you don’t need vague promises and legal jargon. You need cold, hard facts so you can understand what is coming next. We’ve broken down all of the steps in the process so that you can enter it feeling completely confident.

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?

While we handle the legal heavy lifting, your role matters too—and we’ll guide you through every part of it. Here’s how you can help:

  • Be honest and thorough when sharing information
  • Stay responsive to our communications
  • Provide documents or updates about your medical care when needed

You focus on your recovery—we’ll take care of the rest. Our team is here to make this as stress-free and straightforward as possible.

HOW LONG WILL MY CASE TAKE?

Every case is different, and we believe in giving honest answers—not guesses. That’s why we don’t estimate timelines until we’ve reviewed the details of your situation. The length of your case depends on several factors, such as:

  • The complexity of your claim
  • How quickly key evidence can be gathered
  • The severity of your injuries
  • The other party’s willingness to settle

Some cases wrap up in just a few months, while others—particularly those involving serious injuries or contested liability—may take a year or more. No matter the timeline, know this: we’ll keep things moving, keep you informed, and work hard to deliver results that make the process worthwhile. We’re committed to seeing it through with you, start to finish.

How Much Compensation Can I Receive?

Your case is unique, and so is the compensation you may be entitled to. That said, we work to recover the full value of your losses, including:

  • Medical expenses (both current and future)
  • Lost wages or reduced earning ability
  • Pain and suffering
  • Property damage
  • Emotional and psychological effects

While we can’t give an exact figure without reviewing your case, our goal is clear: to fight for the maximum compensation you deserve—so you can move forward with confidence, security, and peace of mind.

What Should I Expect from the Legal Process?

If this is your first experience with a personal injury claim, we understand how important it is to know what lies ahead. It all starts with a free consultation—your chance to speak with an experienced attorney, get clear answers, and share your story. From there, here’s what you can expect:

Step 1: Case Review & Legal Strategy

We’ll take a thorough look at the facts of your case, explain your legal options, and lay out a strategy built around your goals.

Step 2: Evidence Gathering

Our team handles collecting key documents—medical records, police reports, witness statements, photos, and more—to build a strong, evidence-based case.

Step 3: Filing Your Claim

Once your case is ready, we’ll file your claim and begin negotiations. If a fair settlement isn’t possible, we’re prepared to take your case to court.

Step 4: Reaching a Resolution

Most cases are resolved through negotiation, but if a trial becomes necessary, we’ll be your dedicated advocates every step of the way.

Throughout it all, we keep the lines of communication open. You’ll always know where things stand—no guesswork, no surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions

In Tennessee, you generally have one year from the date of your injury to file a personal injury claim. This is one of the shortest statutes of limitations in the country, so it’s important not to wait. If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to seek compensation. Contacting an attorney as soon as possible gives you the best chance to build a strong case and protect your rights.

If you were injured because of someone else’s negligence—whether in a car accident, slip and fall, or another incident—you may have a case. Key factors include proving that another party was at fault, that their actions (or inaction) caused your injuries, and that you suffered damages such as medical bills, lost income, or pain and suffering. Our team offers free consultations to review your situation and help you understand your legal options.

The value of a personal injury case depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries, the cost of medical treatment, lost wages, long-term impact on your quality of life, and emotional distress. Every case is different. Once we evaluate the details, we can give you a clearer picture of what your claim may be worth—and we’ll fight to recover the full compensation you deserve.
