Tennessee follows modified comparative fault. If you are 50 percent at fault, you may not recover in many injury cases. Accidents on I-40 and property claims in the four largest cities are frequent.
Most personal injury lawsuits must be filed within one year, making it one of the shortest periods in the nation. Contact a Tennessee lawyer promptly.
