PERSONAL INJURY
When someone else’s negligence throws your life off track, you deserve a lawyer who treats you with compassion while fighting fiercely for your recovery. At Law Offices of Jesse James Campbell, you get a team that stands with you from day one, protecting your rights, easing your stress, and pushing back against insurance companies that try to take advantage of you.
When Life Knocks You Down, We Help You Fight Back
When someone else’s carelessness turns your life upside down, you shouldn’t have to battle insurance companies or navigate complicated laws on your own. You deserve someone who listens to your story, takes your pain seriously, and stands up for you with the courage and determination you wish you had the strength for right now. At Law Offices of Jesse James Campbell, you get exactly that — a legal ally who brings compassion to the conversation and grit to the courtroom.
We represent injury victims across Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia from our Bristol office, serving Johnson City, Kingsport, Bluff City, Jonesborough, Greeneville, Elizabethton, and the greater Tri-Cities area, as well as Bristol, Abingdon, and Washington County in Virginia. Remote appointments are always available if traveling is hard, if you’re recovering from injuries, or if you just need legal help from the comfort of home.
You focus on healing. We handle the fight.
Standing Up Against Insurance Companies
Insurance companies are trained to save money — not protect you. They delay, deny, and downplay claims because they know you’re stressed, injured, and overwhelmed. That’s exactly why you need a down-to-earth advocate who understands both the law and the tactics insurance adjusters use.
At Law Offices of Jesse James Campbell, we take the burden off your shoulders by handling every call, every document, and every negotiation. We push back when insurers try to lowball you, twist your words, or blame you for your own injuries. You get clear communication, straightforward legal advice, and a lawyer who prepares as if every case could go to trial — because that’s what it takes to get real results.
Serious Injuries Demand Serious Representation
Below are the major personal injury areas we handle, with expanded explanations and detailed assurances about how
Law Offices of Jesse James Campbell supports you every step of the way.
When You’re Hit on the Road: Motor Vehicle Collisions
Car, truck, motorcycle, and pedestrian accidents don’t just damage vehicles — they shatter routines, jobs, mobility, and peace of mind. Tennessee’s comparative fault laws make these cases especially tricky, because insurance companies will try to argue that you share blame. Even a small percentage can drastically reduce what you’re owed.
At Law Offices of Jesse James Campbell, we investigate every detail: crash reports, camera footage, witness statements, medical findings, and insurance communications. We handle:
- Car accidents caused by distracted, drunk, or negligent drivers
- Truck accidents involving commercial carriers or unsafe operators
- Motorcycle crashes caused by drivers who “never saw you there”
- Pedestrian accidents where the driver failed to yield or look
- Uninsured and underinsured motorist claims
You get a lawyer who prepares thoroughly — not one who rushes you into a settlement because it’s easier.
When Falls Cause Life-Changing Injuries: Dangerous Property & Premises Liability
Slip-and-fall and premises liability cases are rarely simple. Businesses and property owners will often claim “it wasn’t their fault,” even when a hazard has been ignored for weeks. To prove negligence, you must show that the owner knew or should have known about the danger.
We help clients injured by:
- Wet floors or spills
- Uneven sidewalks
- Broken railings
- Poor lighting
- Unsafe stairwells
- Negligent maintenance
- Hazards ignored by landlords or property managers
We also handle claims involving
city-owned property, which come with special notice and filing requirements. We make sure deadlines are met, evidence is preserved, and your injuries are documented thoroughly.
When a Life Is Cut Short: Wrongful Death Claims
Nothing devastates a family like losing someone because another person didn’t take safety seriously. Wrongful death claims are not just legal matters — they are emotional, fragile, and deeply personal.
At Law Offices of Jesse James Campbell, we help you:
- Understand your rights
- Access survivor benefits
- Pursue compensation for lost income, companionship, and future stability
- Hold negligent parties fully accountable
We protect your family’s dignity throughout the process while pursuing justice with relentless focus.
When an Animal Attack Leaves Permanent Harm: Dog Bite Injuries
Dog bites can cause serious physical and emotional injuries — especially for children. Property owners often claim the dog “never acted aggressively before,” but that doesn’t excuse the harm caused.
We pursue compensation for:
- Emergency medical care
- Infections
- Scarring
- Nerve damage
- Trauma and anxiety
- Lost wages
- Long-term treatment
Dog owners must be responsible for their pets. When they aren’t, we make sure they’re held accountable.
When Safety Fails: Negligent Security
Some injuries happen because a person acted violently — but others happen because a property owner allowed danger to exist. Apartment complexes, hotels, bars, and shopping centers have a duty to keep their spaces reasonably safe.
Negligent security cases may involve:
- Poor lighting
- Broken locks
- Lack of security personnel
- Failure to address known criminal activity
- No cameras or nonfunctioning cameras
When a preventable crime causes harm, Law Offices of Jesse James Campbell investigates every missed safeguard.
When the Injuries Are Life-Changing: Catastrophic Harm
Catastrophic injuries require a different level of care, planning, and long-term evaluation. These injuries may include:
- Spinal cord injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Severe burns
- Loss of limbs
- Permanent disabilities
We work with medical experts, rehabilitation specialists, and economists to assess your lifetime needs. Your case isn’t about a payout — it’s about protecting your future.
When Insurance Companies Act in Bad Faith
If an insurance company delays or denies your claim without a valid reason, they may be acting in bad faith. That means they’re breaking the rules — and you don’t have to tolerate it.
Examples include:
- Unreasonably denying a claim
- Failing to investigate
- Pressuring you to accept low offers
- Ignoring medical evidence
- Delaying payment without explanation
We make sure insurance companies play by the rules or face consequences.
You Deserve a Fighter in Your Corner
When you’re injured, your world doesn’t stop — but you shouldn’t have to push through pain, paperwork, or pressure alone. At Law Offices of Jesse James Campbell, we stand shoulder-to-shoulder with you, offering honest guidance and relentless advocacy. Whether we meet in person in Bristol or connect remotely from your home, you’ll always feel supported, informed, and protected.
FAQ's
1. How do I know if I have a personal injury case?
If you were injured because someone acted carelessly or violated safety rules, you may have a case. We’ll review the details for free and tell you exactly what your options are.
2. What if the insurance company already made me an offer?
Don’t accept it yet. Early offers are almost always low. Let us review it first — once you sign, you can’t go back.
3. How long do I have to file a claim in Tennessee?
Most personal injury cases must be filed within one year, which is one of the shortest deadlines in the country. The sooner you contact us, the better.
4. What if I’m partially at fault for the accident?
Tennessee’s comparative fault laws still allow compensation as long as you’re less than 50% at fault. We help minimize any blame the insurer tries to put on you.
5. Will I have to go to court?
Not always. Many cases settle, but we prepare every file like a trial is possible. That preparation often leads to better settlements.
6. How much does it cost to hire Law Offices of Jesse James Campbell for an injury case?
For most injury cases, you pay nothing upfront. We only get paid if we recover compensation for you.
