Tennessee Statute of Limitations

In Tennessee, the statute of limitations for personal injury actions, including car accidents, is generally one year from the date of the injury. This means that an individual has one year from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit seeking damages for injuries sustained in the accident. However, there are some exceptions to this rule that may extend the statute of limitations in certain cases.  This is known as the discovery or “tolling”. It is important to note that the statute of limitations can vary depending on the specific circumstances of the case, so it is always a good idea to consult with an accident attorney to determine the applicable deadline in your case.

Types of Auto Accidents

There are many different types of auto accidents, and the type of accident that occurs can depend on a variety of factors, including the speed and direction of the vehicles involved, the type of road on which the accident occurs, and the weather and lighting conditions at the time of the accident. Some common types of auto accidents include:

Head-on Collision

These occur when the front of one vehicle strikes the front of another vehicle. They can be especially dangerous because of the high speeds and forces involved.

Rear-end Collision

These occur when one vehicle strikes the back of another vehicle. They are often caused by distracted or negligent driving, such as tailgating or failing to stop in time.

Side-impact Collisions

Also known as “T-bone” accidents, these occur when the side of one vehicle is struck by the front or back of another vehicle, which can be dangerous because the sides of vehicles offer less protection.

Single-vehicle Accidents

These occur when only one vehicle is involved in the accident, such as when a vehicle runs off the road and strikes a tree or other object.

Multi-vehicle Accidents

These occur when multiple vehicles are involved in an accident, such as in a pileup on a highway. These types of accidents can be especially complex and difficult to sort out.

Rollover Accidents

Rollover accidents occur when a vehicle flips over onto its side or roof. These types of accidents can be caused by a variety of factors, including speeding or poorly designed roads.

Auto Accident Injury FAQ

When should I hire a car accident attorney?

 It’s generally a good idea to hire a car accident attorney as soon as possible after an accident. An attorney can provide valuable guidance and support during the claims process and can help you understand your rights and options.

How do I prove that the other party was at fault for my injuries?

To prove that the other party was at fault for your injuries, you will need to provide evidence such as witness statements, photos or videos of the accident scene, and any relevant documentation, such as a police report. Your personal injury lawyer can help you gather and present this evidence in a persuasive manner.

Can a car accident attorney help me if I was partly at fault for the accident?

Yes, even if you were partly at fault for the accident, a car accident attorney can help you with your insurance claim. Tennessee follows a “comparative fault” rule, which means that each party is responsible for the amount of damages they caused. A car accident attorney can help you determine your degree of fault and negotiate with the insurance company to get the compensation you deserve.

Do I need a lawyer for my car accident injury case?

It is not necessary to have a lawyer to file a personal injury claim, but it is generally in your best interest to hire an experienced attorney. An attorney can help you navigate the legal process, negotiate with the insurance company, and protect your rights. A lawyer can also help you recover the maximum compensation possible for your injuries.

What if the other driver doesn't have insurance?

If the other driver doesn’t have insurance or does not have enough insurance to cover your damages, you may be able to file a claim with your own insurance company under your uninsured motorist coverage. You may also be able to file a personal injury lawsuit against the other driver to seek compensation for your damages. An experienced personal injury attorney can advise you on the best course of action in your specific case.

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?

Many personal injury lawyers work on a contingency basis, which means that they do not charge any upfront fees and only get paid if they win your case. If your lawyer is successful in winning your case, they will typically take a percentage of the settlement or award as their fee. It is important to discuss the fee arrangement with your lawyer before hiring them.
