HOW WE ARE DIFFERENT
Why you should hire our experienced personal injury lawyers?
Our Chattanooga personal injury lawyers will be your voice.
At Dennis & Winningham Law, our attorneys and staff are not just dedicated to protecting our client’s right to compensation—we are dedicated to helping our clients make the best possible legal decisions about their Georgia or Tennessee car wreck or personal injury case. We work with you, the client, and always try to make sure you understand what happened to you, how we can use the law to help you and maximize your compensation.
How do we do this?
By treating your case like it’s the most important case in our office.
That means we:
- Talk to all witnesses
- Visit the scene so we understand what happened
- Hire and speak with experts
- Read information
- Discuss the information so we are developing the best ideas for your case
This produces the strongest case possible and your best chance to persuade the negligent person, the insurance company or the court to award you fair and complete compensation.
We are trial lawyers and warrior for our clients
David beat Goliath using only a sling. When we fight against big insurance companies and corporations determined to avoid paying you the compensation you deserve, we bring a full range of legal and strategic weapons.
These include:
- A five member attorney team and support staff
- Consulting doctors and physical therapists
- Substantial resources to hire experienced medical and expert witnesses
- A policy of preparing each case for trial—this strengthens your case for settlement and if necessary, for trial
- Conducting mock trials and focus groups before trial in order to create persuasive arguments for a jury
When you need legal help, do not hesitate to schedule a free initial strategy session. We take cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you have nothing to lose.
Our legal strategies have produced thousands of successful results and some of Tennessee and Georgia’s largest settlement and verdicts. From Hamilton County, Tennessee to Walker County, Georgia – we’ve got you covered.
Leaders in obtaining settlements for victims
We truly care about our clients. Our Tennessee and Georgia personal injury lawyers typically spend two hours with a new client getting to know them. We believe that the better we know our clients and their stories, the more successful we will be in their case.
You pay no fees unless we win your case!

A Personal Approach for Accident Victims
Personal injury
In almost all personal injury claims, insurance companies will offer you significantly less than what you deserve. It’s tempting to accept the first offer, especially if you are in a great deal of pain and unable to return to work. But if you’ve already taken a devalued settlement from the insurance company and your medical bills start to pile up, there’s little legal recourse to ask for more. That’s why it’s crucial to involve a Chattanooga personal injury lawyer before you even file a claim.

Trucking Accidents
Truck accidents in the United States are on the rise. Recent statistics show that almost 150,000 people are injured in truck accidents each year, and 6,000 people are killed. The regional area of Georgia and Tennessee is a crossroads and a center for car manufacturing, river traffic, and other industries. Large trucks, semi-trucks, 18-wheelers, and other commercial vehicles are constantly on the road. This has a downside as frequent truck accidents occur on I-75, I-24, I-59, Highway 153, U.S. 27, Amnicola Highway, Corridor J, and other roadways. If you or a loved one has been injured in a Georgia or Tennessee truck accident, you may be eligible for substantial compensation.

ATV Accidents
Under both Tennessee and Georgia law, ATVs are not authorized for use on paved road, but children continue to bring ATVs on to our roads and highways. Georgia and Tennessee laws also prohibit the carrying of passengers on most ATVs, require children below the age of 16 to take approved ATV training courses, and require kids younger than 16 to wear helmets, eye protection, and over-the-ankle boots when operating ATVs. However, these requirements apply only when ATVs are operated on public lands, leaving kids essentially without protection when riding ATVs on private property.

Bicycle Accidents
The most tragic type of bicycle crash is a bike-car collision. Cyclists are completely defenseless traveling on 30-pound bikes when they’re surrounded by 3,000-pound cars and trucks racing by them. Pedestrians, defective bike parts, recalled bike helmets, and other ineffective bicycle safety equipment can also cause bicycle accidents. Bike accidents can result in wrongful death or serious injuries such as broken bones, amputation, traumatic brain injury, neck, back, and spinal cord injuries.

Boating Accidents
One of three factors usually cause boat accidents: an inexperienced boater, an intoxicated operator, or a boat malfunction. More than a third of both fatal and non-fatal boat accidents are alcohol-related. It is estimated that boat operators with a blood alcohol content of .10 or higher are 10 times more likely to be injured or killed in a boat accident than sober operators.
