Motor Vehicle Accident Case Basics

Tennessee is very clear about the time frame in which you must bring a lawsuit against the person who caused the accident. Whether you were involved in a crash with a car, a truck or a motorcycle, you will generally have one year from the day the accident took place to file your lawsuit. This means that you must be timely and contact an attorney immediately after your accident, or you may never be compensated for your losses.

But what happens if you are the person who caused the accident? It depends on your situation. Because Tennessee is a “comparative negligence” state, you may still receive damages based on how much of the accident you weren’t responsible for. This way, all drivers involved can share the blame and potentially recover some compensation.
