In Tennessee, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims arising from highway crashes is generally one year from the date the cause of action accrues. Under Tennessee Code Annotated § 28-3-104, injured parties typically have one year to file a lawsuit seeking compensation for injuries caused by another party's negligence. This deadline applies to qualifying motor vehicle accident claims in Tipton County and throughout Tennessee. Certain exceptions may apply, including specific circumstances involving criminal charges related to the injury.
Highway crashes can result in injuries that require medical treatment, rehabilitation, and time away from work. Individuals pursuing compensation may seek damages for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses supported by the facts of their case.
Because missing the filing deadline can prevent an injured person from recovering compensation through a lawsuit, understanding the applicable time limit is important. The deadline may vary depending on the circumstances, the parties involved, and the type of claim.
A car accident lawyer can review the available evidence, explain potential options, and discuss any deadlines that may apply.
