How Do Insurance Companies Handle Multi-Vehicle Accident Claims in Blount County, TN?

Insurance companies handle multi-vehicle accident claims in Blount County by reviewing each driver’s actions, determining how fault should be divided, and identifying which insurance policies may apply to your losses.

To determine how the crash occurred, insurers may review police reports, photographs, video footage, and witness statements. This evidence can help clarify the sequence of events when drivers give different accounts.

Depending on your losses, your claim may include medical expenses, lost income, vehicle or motorcycle damage, and pain and suffering. The amount you may recover depends on your losses, the available insurance coverage, policy limits, and the circumstances surrounding the crash.

Because Tennessee follows a modified comparative fault rule, you may generally recover compensation if you are less than 50 percent responsible for the crash. However, your recovery can be reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are 50 percent or more at fault, you generally cannot recover damages.

Because several drivers and insurance companies may be involved, resolving your claim can take longer than handling a two-vehicle crash. The insurers may also reach different conclusions about who caused the collision or how responsibility should be divided.

In Tennessee, you have one year from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit, although certain circumstances may affect how the deadline applies. Missing this deadline can prevent you from recovering compensation through a lawsuit.

As your claim moves forward, a personal injury lawyer can review the available insurance policies, communicate with the companies involved, and address disputes over responsibility or payment. An attorney can also evaluate whether a proposed settlement reflects the full extent of your losses.
