Workers Compensation
Under Tennessee workers compensation law, if you have sustained an injury within the course and scope of your employment, generally you are entitled to workers compensation benefits. These benefits include lifetime medical treatment related to your injury, temporary monetary benefits while you are out of work and healing and, if you have sustained a permanent injury, permanent monetary benefits that are meant to compensate you for the loss of your ability to earn money in the future.
Wrongful Termination
Mr. Dupree has many years of experience defending individuals, corporations and other entities in court. This includes fall down cases, wrongful discharge, discrimination claims, workers compensation claims, harassment claims, insurance premium cases, state compliance cases for workers compensation, property disputes, auto/truck accidents and a host of other different claims.

Real Estate Litigation
Mr. Dupree can assist you with all real estate matters and help give you the reassurance you need so you can feel confident about a smooth and sound transaction.
Premises Liability
Mr. Dupree has lead counsel litigation experience in state and federal courts, including experience with mediation and arbitration. His lead counsel experience includes mass torts, products’ liability, class actions, premises liability, worker’s compensation, medical malpractice, black lung, personal injury, criminal, auto accidents, coverage opinions and a host of other different types of cases. He is a member of the Tennessee Bar Association, is a City of Knoxville Beer Board Hearing Office and lectures from time to time at legal seminars. Mr. Dupree has served on the Board of Directors for Big Brothers Big Sisters, is Scoutmaster trained through the BSA and has participated in Habitat for Humanity.
Construction Litigation
Mr. Dupree is an experienced construction lawyer who represents general contractors, subcontractors, material suppliers, and homeowners in construction disputes. Some reasons disputes arise are due to failure to pay, incomplete work, defective work, or liens. No one can afford to allow harm to come to their business while waiting to be paid. Call Mr. Dupree today to take immediate action to ensure that disputes are resolved quickly and your rights are protected so that your company is paid what is owed. Likewise, if you are a homeowner who has a dispute with a contractor, Mr. Dupree can handle your case as well.
Real Estate Transactions
Real Estate Law covers a vast array of issues including real estate transactions, property rights, deed transfers and landlord-tenant issues. Real estate lawyers serve two primary functions, they either act as litigators or handle the legal aspects of real estate transactions.
Landlord-Tenant Disputes
Mr. Dupree represents landlords who find themselves in a dispute over a leased premises. He can help you with any issue that can occur between landlords and tenants - evictions, breaches in the terms of the lease, or other problems and disagreements that arise. In Tennessee, there is a set of laws that covers tenants and landlords and the responsibilities and rights of both. These rights and responsibilities vary from county to county in Tennessee. The URLTA or the Uniform Residential Landlord Tenant Acts applies to counties with a population of 68,000 or more.
Property Damage
If you’re dealing with an insurance claim, the first thing to understand is that the job of the insurance company is to pay out as little as possible. Despite the fact that the rates of accidents, property damage, and injuries have not dropped significantly, profit margins of insurance companies continue to grow at a staggering rate.

Personal Injury
If you suffer a personal injury in a car accident, Mr. Dupree can assist you in receiving compensation for your injuries, lost wages, and other damages. Contending with insurance companies can be complicated and frustrating. Their goal is to try to reduce their liability in auto accidents so that they pay as little as possible. Mr. Dupree’s job is to be on your side, do the legwork to reduce stress for you, and to ease the financial burden caused by an auto accident by getting you the compensation you deserve.
Medical Malpractice
More than 250,000 people in the United States die every year due to medical negligence, making medical malpractice the
Auto Accidents
Dog Bites
Over the years John Dupree has represented clients with a host of different illnesses and afflictions, including amputations, head injuries, traumatic breaks, mental illness, paralysis, torn rotator cuffs, blindness, deafness, bed bug attacks, allergic reactions, dog bites and more! He has litigated in almost every county in East Tennessee from Nashville to Bristol and south to Chattanooga.

Foreclosure
The claimant was in terrible pain from his diseases and was so fatigued that he slept for about 20 hours out of each day. After terminating his benefits, I appealed the decision and Jefferson Pilot hired a consultant in Omaha Nebraska to go in, look at what the adjuster did, look at the medical records and render a determination about the claimant’s ability to work. Through investigation, we discovered that the consultant, Dr. Metcalfe, was an insurance industry utility man. Until May 2004, he was Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer (whatever that means) for the Mutual of Omaha Companies. He then operated a medical consulting company out of his home in Omaha - Comprehensive Medical and Legal Evaluations, Inc. He also was the managing partner for an expert witness company called Concipio, LLC. He was no longer treating patients but devoted himself to providing expert opinions and training other experts to provide expert opinions. Without examining the claimant or speaking to the treating physicians (one of whom gave me a sworn statement for FREE because he felt so strongly about this case), Dr. Metcalfe opined that the claimant could hold down a full-time job. Therefore Jefferson Pilot upheld its denial. We fought our way through Jefferson Pilot’s internal appeal process before Jefferson Pilot finally overturned its decision – but not before the claimant received foreclosure papers on his home. Although he managed to save his home, sadly the claimant passed away shortly after we won the appeal. However, near the end, he came to my office on a sunny day doing what he loved to do - riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle.
Debt Collection
To successfully collect a debt or judgment owed to you or to your business, you may need the help of an experienced debt collection lawyer who will skillfully and efficiently take the steps necessary to collect the money that you are owed. Mr. Dupree has experience with the tactics that debtors will use to avoid paying their debts. Successful collection of debt often requires that you have a lawyer with the resources, ability, and knowledge of Tennessee law to locate a debtor's assets, which can sometimes be concealed, and to collect against them.
