How fault works

Modified comparative negligence, 50% bar

On a busy jobsite — common in fast-growing metros like Nashville — several parties such as general contractors, subcontractors, and equipment suppliers may share responsibility, and OSHA violations can help show negligence. Injured workers may have workers' comp benefits and, when an outside party is at fault, a separate third-party claim under Tennessee's at-fault system. That claim follows modified comparative negligence with a 50% bar, allowing recovery if you were less than 50% responsible, reduced by your share. Tennessee's one-year deadline to bring an injury claim is one of the shortest in the country, so acting early protects both your health and your rights. FaultFreeClaims can match you with an independent, licensed Tennessee attorney familiar with construction cases.

Frequently asked questions

Who can be held responsible for a Tennessee construction accident?

Depending on the facts, general contractors, subcontractors, property owners, or equipment makers may share fault. An independent attorney can help identify responsible parties before the one-year deadline passes.

Do OSHA violations help my construction injury claim in Tennessee?

They can serve as evidence that a safety duty was breached, supporting a negligence claim against a responsible party. An attorney can explain how such violations fit into Tennessee's comparative fault rules.

How long do I have to file an injury claim in Tennessee?

In Tennessee, the deadline is generally 1 year from the date of the accident. ONLY 1 YEAR for personal injury — among the shortest in the nation. Wrongful death 1 year. Deadlines are strict — the sooner you act, the more options you have.

Can I recover if the accident was partly my fault?

Tennessee follows this rule: Modified comparative negligence, 50% bar. Because the answer depends on the details, it's worth talking to an attorney who knows Tennessee law before assuming you have no case.
