Biography

Burke Keaty has spent his entire career helping injured victims and their families hold at-fault parties and their insurance companies responsible for the harm they cause. Burke has successfully resolved hundreds of cases on behalf of clients injured in car, motorcycle, bus, and tractor-trailer collisions, as well as pedestrians and bicyclists harmed by others on the roadway.

Burke has earned an AV Preeminent 5.0 Martindale-Hubbell ranking, which is the highest ranking possible. He has been selected as a Super Lawyers Mid-South Rising Star every year since 2014 and recognized as one of the “Top 40 Under 40” lawyers in Tennessee by The National Trial Lawyers Association.

Burke went to college at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, graduating with honors in 2005 with a major in Finance and minor in Accounting. He then attended the University of Tennessee College of Law, graduating in 2008. During law school in Knoxville he had an invaluable clerkship working for an outstanding trial lawyer named Bob Pryor, Sr., who cemented Burke's desire to practice personal injury law. After graduating, Burke returned home to Nashville to work with attorney John Day and was a partner at his firm before coming to Morgan & Morgan in 2017.

Burke is married to Jenney Springer Keaty, who’s also a trial lawyer at Morgan & Morgan. They have four young boys and enjoy spending time together outdoors and cheering for their sons’ baseball and basketball teams.
