CAR ACCIDENTS
EVERY YEAR, THOUSANDS OF TENNESSEANS ARE INJURED OR KILLED IN MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS.
Most often the accident is due to someone’s negligence. Negligence is defined as doing something a reasonable person would not otherwise do or a failure to act in a way a reasonable person would act. Many times, people violate the rules of the road.
Because of someone else’s negligence, can happen anywhere and to anyone. These types of injuries can result in life-changing circumstances.
It is important to remember that if you are involved in a car or truck accident, you should first make sure everyone is physically ok and then call law enforcement. Document as much of the scene as possible and don’t discuss the accident with other parties on the scene.
If this happens to you, don’t wait to call. Insurance companies often try to quickly settle a claim before you seek legal assistance. Tennessee has a statute of limitations making these cases time limited. Don’t wait!
