FAQ

What compensation can you recover?

Maximizing recovery is always a priority in personal injury cases. Compensation may include medical expenses, lost wages, remuneration for pain and suffering, or punitive damages when applicable.

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

In Tennessee, you generally have one year from the date of the injury to file a personal injury claim. However, there are limited exceptions for minors, incapacitated individuals, or certain criminal cases.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

Tennessee follows what’s called a“modified comparative negligence rule.” This means that if you’re partially at fault in a personal injury case, you can still recover damages. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. So if you’re 30% at fault, your award is reduced by 30%. Who determines this percentage? Ultimately, a judge or jury will make the “at fault” decision, but having effective legal representation strengthens your case for increased injury compensation.
