East Tennessee is home to hundreds of thousands of drivers, workers, students, families, and visitors traveling throughout East Tennessee every day. From congested interstate traffic to busy city streets and rapidly growing suburban communities, serious accidents can happen without warning.
When they do, injured people need more than a telephone number for an insurance company. They need someone who understands how an injury can affect their health, family, career, finances, and future.
Poulin | Willey Trial Lawyers represents people injured because of the negligence or wrongdoing of others.
Our legal team helps accident victims throughout Knoxville, Knox County, and East Tennessee understand their rights and evaluate their options for pursuing a personal injury claim.
We believe injured people deserve answers.
They deserve to understand what their case may be worth.
And they deserve someone willing to fight when an insurance company refuses to treat them fairly.
If you have been injured in an accident, you need a personal injury lawyer to protect your legal rights and get you the financial compensation you deserve. Many accident victims try to navigate the complex world of personal injury law on their own, only to realize midway through how challenging and stressful it can be.
An experienced personal injury lawyer has the skill and knowledge necessary to provide you with the legal counsel you need to recover compensation for hospital and medical bills, including rehabilitation, physical therapy, emotional suffering, and other damages. They can also determine what amount of financial compensation you need to ensure that your future medical expenses are also provided for so that you may concentrate on your recovery.
A personal injury lawyer can also assist you with filing the necessary paperwork with your insurance company so that you may be assured it is completed and filed properly and promptly. Some insurers may only accept claims if the forms are filled out correctly and within a specific timeframe.

We have been successful in recovering compensatory damages for our clients. Our personal injury attorneys will review your case to determine if punitive damages are appropriate and the best legal strategy to obtain them. The judge or jury deciding the case may award damages if the court determines the defendant acted with malice or with a wanton or willful disregard for your safety. There are two different types of compensatory damages: Economic damages reimburse injury victims for out-of-pocket expenses they have incurred as a result of being injured and may include:
✓ Past and future medical bills
✓ Lost wages
✓ Loss of earning capacity
✓ Property damage
Non-economic damages compensate injury victims for intangible losses they have suffered. They depend on the facts and circumstances that surround your case and may include:
✓ Pain and suffering
✓ Emotional distress
✓ Loss of enjoyment of life
✓ Loss of companionship
✓ Permanent disfigurement and scarring
