What should I do immediately after a car accident in Tennessee?

Get medical help, call law enforcement, exchange insurance information, and take photos of the scene. Do not discuss fault or accept a quick settlement. Contact our Tennessee personal injury lawyers as soon as possible so we can preserve evidence and protect your rights.

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Tennessee?

Most personal injury claims have a one year statute of limitations from the date of the accident or injury. Some exceptions apply, including cases involving minors or delayed discovery. Our attorneys can confirm your deadline and act quickly on your behalf.

What if the insurance company offers me a settlement right away?

Do not accept a settlement before speaking with an attorney. Early offers are often low and do not account for future care, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Our Tennessee personal injury lawyers review your case and pursue fair compensation.

Who can be held liable in a truck accident?

Potentially liable parties include the truck driver, trucking company, maintenance provider, parts manufacturer, and cargo loader. We investigate logs, maintenance records, and black box data to identify every source of compensation.

What types of damages can I recover in a personal injury claim?

You may recover medical expenses, future care costs, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, pain and emotional suffering, property damage, and loss of consortium. We calculate both short term and long term losses to pursue the maximum recovery.

How are Tennessee car accident cases different from other states?

Tennessee follows a modified comparative fault rule. You can recover damages if you are less than 50 percent at fault, but your award is reduced by your share of fault. Experienced Tennessee personal injury lawyers can help build a strong case in your favor.
