For Chadwick D.G. Meyers, becoming a personal injury lawyer was more than a career choice—it was a calling shaped by experience. Growing up in Missouri, Chadwick spent his early years working at his father’s funeral home. There, he developed a deep respect for people going through grief and hardship. That empathy became the foundation of his life’s work: helping individuals seek justice after devastating loss or injury. Today, as the founder of Meyers Personal Injury Law, Chadwick brings that same heart to every case he handles. Based in Nashville, he represents clients in catastrophic injury, wrongful death, commercial vehicle accidents, funeral home negligence, and negligent security cases. With each case, Chadwick combines legal expertise with genuine compassion, guiding clients through unfamiliar territory with clarity and care. What truly sets Chadwick apart is his commitment to accessibility. He takes the time to speak with every client personally, and stays in touch via phone or text whenever they need him. He believes that legal support should be as human and responsive as possible. A graduate of the Nashville School of Law, Chadwick was recognized as the Tennessee Supreme Court’s Law Student for Justice. He’s received numerous accolades, including the National Trial Lawyers: Top 40 Under 40 (2020–2024) and Best Personal Injury Law Firm in Nashville. Chadwick is active in key legal organizations such as the Tennessee Trial Lawyers Association (where he serves on the Board), and the American Association of Justice.
