Tennessee’s Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Claims
In Tennessee, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is one year, beginning on the date of the injury. Although a year may appear to be a long time, it is one of the shortest times to bring a lawsuit in the country. Although not all injuries are visible right once, the clock begins ticking straight away. If you decide to bring a lawsuit to recover compensation for medical expenditures incurred as a result of an accident, all necessary documentation must be submitted before the one-year deadline, otherwise, your case will be dismissed.

Why Retaining Our Law Firm to Handle Your Legal Case Is Crucial
Personal Injury Laws in Tennessee
When someone else’s negligence or carelessness, either via acts or inactions, causes personal harm or property damage, a personal injury case can be filed in Tennessee. The individual seeking damages is referred to as the plaintiff, while the person being sued is referred to as the defendant. In Tennessee, proving negligence requires proving that you were not fully or partially at fault and that the defendant’s acts or inactions resulted in damages, pain and suffering, and/or lost wages.
Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle
Insurance firms and big businesses have limitless resources in today’s litigation environment, and they frequently adopt a scorched-earth strategy for even the most deserving of cases. They try their best to limit or abolish your compensation. We have the resources at our legal firm to take on the most aggressive defendants.
We have vast experience in all fields ready to assess your case and provide expert testimony on the level of care in medical negligence, product liability cases, slip and fall cases, the past and future medical and economic repercussions of serious injuries, crash safety standards, and the physics of catastrophic accidents like a truck or car accidents.
There are certain exceptions to the one-year rule but it is highly advisable to lodge your claim as soon as possible through a Dunlap personal injury lawyer.
