Tennessee Auto Accident Attorneys
After a Tennessee motor vehicle accident, you have a very short amount of time to take legal action or you will lose you right to compensation for your injuries. You only have one year to file an accident lawsuit. To protect your rights and make sure that you and your family do not miss out on the compensation you need, please talk to an experienced Tennessee auto accident lawyer right away.
If You Were Partly to Blame
After an accident you should never admit fault, even if you think you might have been to blame or partly to blame. The insurance company will use anything you say against you to avoid paying your claim. There may have been factors leading to your accident that you are not aware of, such as a defective vehicle or roadway. Never make assumptions. Your Tennessee auto accident lawyer will thoroughly investigate to determine what caused and contributed to your accident.
In many accidents both drivers are partly at fault. In Tennessee, you can recover compensation as long as you were less than 50% at fault for your accident.
Damages
Compensation for your motor vehicle accident injuries can pay for your medical care, give you access to the best care and medical treatments that your health insurance does not cover. It can ensure your future and your family’s future if you are unable to return to work or no longer able to earn as much as you did before your accident. If you have become disabled as a result of your injuries, full and fair compensation means your loved ones can afford to hire someone to help with your care and to perform the tasks that you used to take care of, such as home maintenance.
You may be able to recover compensation for your economic and noneconomic damages including:
- Medical expenses and future medical expenses
- Home health care
- Custodial care
- Rehabilitation and therapy
- Special equipment and home modifications to accommodate disability
- Lost income and future lost income
- Lost earning capacity
- Disability
- Disfigurement
- Physical pain and suffering
- Mental or emotional pain and suffering
- Loss of the capacity to enjoy life
- Inconvenience
