More Than 50 Years of Quality Legal Representation

The emphasis of the majority of the members of Butler, Vines and Babb, P.L.L.C., has always been on personal injury law.

Members of Butler, Vines and Babb, P.L.L.C., have been called upon by groups, especially bar associations, to give seminars on the subject of the trial of personal injury and medical negligence cases. The firm has also participated in numerous trials involving significant verdicts in the fields of auto accidents, tractor-trailer accidents, medical negligence, toxic torts, product liability and other cases involving personal liability.

The firm also has a growing practice in the area of Liquor Liability Law. A liquor liability case is one where a restaurant or bar sells alcohol to either an obviously intoxicated person or to a person known to the bar to be a minor. Tennessee law refers to these potential cases as ‘dramshop’ cases. The attorneys at Butler, Vines & Babb have successfully prosecuted liquor liability cases against restaurants/bars and are currently engaged in ongoing litigation in federal court with regard to a liquor liability case arising out of Nashville.
