A Serious Firm for Serious Injuries

We understand the complex details and legal issues that can come into play when seeking compensation for a personal injury accident or negligence. One of the strengths of our practice is an ability to mobilize a nationwide network of independent investigators and medical experts to help identify those responsible for your personal injury and give testimony in medical negligence cases.

There are several other strengths that we feel have earned our firm the reputation we enjoy for professional excellence and strong litigation skills. These include:

  • A firm-wide focus on personal injury, medical malpractice and wrongful death allows us to dedicate our efforts to those who most need our help.
  • We maintain two registered nurses on staff to provide medical insight and support for injured clients.
  • We have a high level of involvement in the community and are committed to being strong advocates for the rights of those injured through negligence or malpractice.

Our experience speaks for itself. The lawyers of Kinnard, Clayton & Beveridge have handled more medical malpractice cases than any other small firm our area, and we also won the largest verdict in a contested jury trial in middle Tennessee history.

If you need the help of a lawyer dedicated to the highest professional and ethical standards and whose commitment to the wellbeing of injured clients is unquestioned, contact our offices today to schedule an initial consultation.

Children's Medicine Manufacturer's Plant Unsafe
The F.D.A. released findings Tuesday that the only plant that makes many popular over-the-counter pediatric medicines lacks sufficient quality control measures and has failed to investigate consumer complaints over contaminated product. Last week, Johnson & Johnson, who owns the plant through a subsidiary, recalled 43 over-the-counter pediatric medicines in the United States, its territories and nine other countries, affecting 70 percent of the market for over-the-counter children's medicine. F.D.A. officials said the plant used raw materials that were contaminated with an unknown bacteria and received 46 customer complaints over contaminated medicines. Federal officials did stress that serious harm from the recalled drugs was "remote." Lyndsey Layton, The Washington Post 05/05/2010
