Bryan Capps
Bryan has literally worked in personal injury law his entire adult life. He was born and raised in north Knoxville. In 1988, just two years out of high school, he began clerking for one of Tennessee’s top personal injury litigation firms. While studying economics and religion at Carson-Newman College, Bryan was promoted to firm administrator. He managed the firm while obtaining his Master of Business Administration and law degrees from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville.
Since graduating law school in 1999, Bryan has worked tirelessly on behalf of injured Tennesseans and for consumers harmed by unscrupulous insurers and corporations. He has litigated cases in state and federal courts throughout Tennessee and in Ohio, Kentucky, and Georgia. He has handled cases before the Tennessee Court of Appeals, Tennessee Supreme Court and United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.
Bryan’s energy, ethics and commitment to injured clients has been recognized by his peers. He served for six years as a hearing panel member for the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Supreme Court of Tennessee. In 2011 he was elected President of the Tennessee Association for Justice (TAJ) which is the state’s premier organization of plaintiff trial attorneys. In that role he has fought, and will continue to fight, the Legislature’s efforts to strip away our constitutional right to trial by jury and to protect access to the courthouse for injured workers and citizens.
When Bryan is not practicing law, his focus is on family, community and his hobbies. Bryan is married and has two stepdaughters. They enjoy traveling and spending time in the outdoors. In the winter they frequent the Smoky Mountains. Much of the summer is spent boating on Norris Lake and growing heirloom tomatoes and vegetables at home.
Bryan and his entire family are committed to serving others. In addition to volunteering in the community, Bryan has for years served as an ombudsman with the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR). In that role he helps our service men and women regain their pre-deployment jobs. His wife works for the Tennessee Court of Appeals and volunteers with Good Will and KARM. Bryan’s oldest stepdaughter is a dedicated cardiac nurse, and his youngest is studying to be an occupational therapist. Bryan simply believes that a life of service to others is the most rewarding life of all.
NASHVILLE — The court battle to get records of beleaguered former Knox County medical examiner Sandra Elkins provides another glimpse into Tennessee's storied history with some of its top death investigators.
Those who work with them say they can't explain why Tennessee's has had so many problems with its medical examiners.
Elkins was hospitalized in 2008 after police said she threatened to kill a Knoxville police officer during a confrontation at her home. Her predecessor, Randall Pedigo, pleaded guilty to drugging and molesting young males. Former state medical examiner Dr. Bruce Levy was arrested in Mississippi last year on felony marijuana possession. Before that, the state revoked the medical license of former Metro medical examiner Charles Harlan, concluding he botched several autopsies and was responsible for multiple counts of misconduct.

There have been more problems other medical examiners across the state.
They've been accused of storing body parts at home, stealing marijuana found with corpses, and testifying in a drugged-up stupor. One was shot by police while being investigated on child molestation charges. Another was accused of faking his own attack by strapping a homemade bomb to his neck.
And the ongoing court battle to get records of beleaguered former Knox County medical examiner Sandra Elkins provides another glimpse into Tennessee's storied history with some of its top death investigators.
"Historically, if you're not in trouble after five years of being a medical examiner in Tennessee, you're an outlier," said Nashville attorney Dan Warlick.
Before practicing law, Warlick served as the chief investigator for the state medical examiner's office from 1973 to 1979.
Part of the problem, he says, is the personalities that are drawn into the field known as forensic medicine. He says medical examiners can best be described as "hearing a different drummer," drawn to working on the front lines of crime and medicine.
"They also in their daily professional life, on a regular basis encounter tragedy and horror and grief and deal with it in its rawest form," he said. "And over a period of time that type of daily involvement leads to the development of psychological stresses that don't always get tended to."
But they are also often the star witnesses in murder cases and their conclusions — or mistakes — help determine innocence and guilt.
An east Tennessee lawyer, who is fighting for a court to get a closed-door look at Elkins' records, including files that detail her past mental-health and prescription drug use, says medical examiners are "absolutely essential" witnesse
