Recovering compensation

If you have been in an accident you can recover compensation for injuries to your person and for damage to your property. For personal injuries, you can recover:

• The reasonable costs of necessary medical care
• Your loss of earnings
• Physical and mental pain and suffering
• Disfigurement
• Loss of quality of life
• Compensation for permanent injuries or disabilities

Medical expenses and lost earnings can be calculated mathematically. The other elements of damages are determined in court by judges or juries based upon what they believe is fair for your particular case.

Personal injury claims and statutes of limitation

The statute of limitations for personal injury in Tennessee is one year, set by Title 28, Ch. 3, Secs. 28-3-103, 28-3-104.

If your claim for personal injuries is not settled within one year of the date of accident, it must be filed in court by that one-year anniversary date. Your claim for property damage must settle or be filed in court by the three year anniversary of your accident.

You may need the assistance of a lawyer in handling your claim if:

• The insurance company will not settle your property damage claim promptly, refuses to settle it for the actual fair market value of your vehicle, or insists on having it repaired with after-market parts.
• The insurance adjuster unfairly insists that you are responsible for causing the accident.
• The insurance adjuster refuses to accept a portion of your injuries or medical treatment as being caused by the accident.
• The insurance adjuster refuses to settle your case without you signing blanket authorizations allowing them access to your medical records.
• The insurance adjuster insists that you provide a recorded statement without the assistance of an attorney.
• The at-fault driver does not have enough insurance coverage to compensate you fully for all your injuries and losses.
• You have difficulty obtaining the medical treatment you need.
• You are confused about the proper value of your claim.
• Your claim has not been settled and the one-year anniversary of your accident is less than six months away.
