Pursuing Justice For The Injured For Over A Decade

Tourist Injuries And Premises Liability Lawyer Committed To Making A Difference

Property owners are legally responsible for keeping their premises safe. When they neglect that responsibility, visitors can suffer serious harm. If you were injured on vacation while visiting a theme park, hotel, cabin or other attraction in East Tennessee, you may be entitled to compensation. The same is true for local residents who get hurt on dangerous property. At Glaspie and Rickman in Sevierville, we help both locals and tourists pursue justice in premises liability cases.

We offer free consultations and contingency fee representation, meaning we don’t get paid unless you get paid. Here, you’ll work directly with premises liability lawyer Jeffrey H. Glaspie, a Sevier County native with over a decade of experience. We’re not a large, corporate firm. We’re a small practice with the experience and local insight it takes to make a positive difference for injury survivors and their loved ones.

Holding Property Owners Accountable For Unsafe Conditions

Hazardous conditions such as slippery walkways, broken railings, unsafe stairs and poorly lit areas can lead to devastating injuries. In a region filled with high-traffic attractions like Dollywood, water parks, resorts and vacation rentals, these risks are especially common.

Under Tennessee law, property owners must take reasonable steps to prevent harm. When they fail to do so, they may be held liable for injuries caused by their negligence.

Our firm handles a wide range of premises liability claims, including:

  • Injuries at hotels, cabins and short-term rentals like Airbnbs or VRBOs
  • Theme park and amusement ride injuries
  • Slips, trips and falls
  • Unsafe pool areas
  • Inadequate security or lighting
  • Structural defects

If you’ve experienced an injury due to property owner negligence, we can help you understand your rights and build a strong case for compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tourist Injuries

Below are answers to some questions you may have if you were hurt while visiting East Tennessee from out of town or out of state.

What do I do if I am injured on someone else’s property?

First, get medical help. If possible, document the scene with photos and videos. Be sure to notify the property owner or manager if you can, but avoid giving detailed statements until you’ve spoken with a premises liability lawyer such as ours. Contacting an attorney early can help preserve evidence and protect your rights.

How do I prove hotel negligence?

Generally speaking, you must show that the hotel failed to maintain safe conditions or ignored known hazards. Evidence may include maintenance records, witness statements, surveillance footage and expert testimony. We’ll handle the investigation and build a case that reflects the full impact of your injuries.

Let A Local Lawyer Handle The Hard Part

As a local law firm, we know the area, the courts, the tourist attractions and the insurance companies. We’ll handle the legal legwork so you can focus on healing. Call us today at 865-606-6771 or send a quick email to get started with a free consultation.
