We Are Here to Assist You After Your Accident

In Tennessee, the statute of limitations for auto accident cases is one year from the date of accident. This means that any lawsuit must be filed by that date. It's important that you secure legal representation quickly after an accident to ensure you preserve your claim and take all steps necessary to protect your rights to seek legal redress for your injuries.

In Tennessee, if a jury finds that you bear some amount of blame for the accident, "comparative negligence" rules will be applied to reduce the damages you receive for your injuries. For example, if you are found 20% at fault for the accident, and the jury awards $100,000 in damages, that award will be reduced to $80,000.
Also, under Tennessee's rules, if you are found to be 50 percent at fault or greater for the accident, you cannot recover anything for your damages. We thoroughly investigate the facts of each accident and provide you with an honest assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of your case, including any comparative fault on your behalf.

Car wrecks can result from a variety of circumstances: a reckless driver, a poorly designed roadway or negligently placed signs, even faulty car parts or defective tires. We thoroughly investigate every auto accident case to determine the cause of the accident and the extent of the injuries. Armed with clear evidence, we are better able to negotiate with the insurance company or try your case in court.

It is a common misperception that motorcyclists get hurt because they have been reckless.
