Accidents in and around Hendersonville

Hendersonville is built along Old Hickory Lake, so not every injury here is a highway injury. A boat wreck on the lake is generally investigated by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency rather than a city police department, which means the report comes from a different office, on a different form, than the crash report you'd get after a wreck on US-31E. On land it's the usual two routes. US-31E through town, and the Vietnam Veterans Parkway (TN-386) toward the Davidson County line. Tennessee gives you one year on the water or on the road. Hendersonville police work crashes inside the city limits. A suit would be filed in the Sumner County Circuit & Chancery Courts.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I get a crash report in Hendersonville?

The Hendersonville Police Department handles crashes inside the city. The Sumner County Sheriff's Office covers county roads, and the Tennessee Highway Patrol works parts of the Vietnam Veterans Parkway and other state routes. Tennessee crash reports are generally released by the investigating agency and the state Department of Safety and Homeland Security. Ask the officer for a report number before you leave the scene.

Which court would handle a Hendersonville injury case?

Hendersonville is in Sumner County, so a personal injury suit would generally be filed in the Sumner County Circuit & Chancery Courts. Gallatin is the county seat, not Hendersonville, so the filing usually happens there even though your crash didn't. We're not a law firm. An independent, licensed Tennessee attorney handles the filing itself.

I was hurt in a boat crash on Old Hickory Lake. Who investigates that?

Boating accidents on Tennessee waters are generally investigated by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency rather than a city police department, so the report comes from a different office than a road crash report does. The Tennessee filing deadline is still one year. Say it happened on the water when you tell us what happened, because not every attorney takes those.

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.
