Accidents in and around Knoxville

I-40 and I-75 share the same pavement through Knoxville, and I-640 exists mostly so the through traffic has somewhere else to go. It doesn't always work. If you were hurt on that stretch, or on a surface street near the University of Tennessee campus on a football Saturday, the number you need is one: Tennessee gives you one year from the date of the crash to file a personal injury suit. It's the shortest deadline of any state we work in. Knoxville police handle crashes inside the city. The Knox County Sheriff's Office and the Highway Patrol handle the rest. Suits go to the Knox County Circuit & Chancery Courts.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I get a crash report in Knoxville?

Start with the agency that responded. Knoxville Police Department reports cover crashes inside the city, the Knox County Sheriff's Office covers the county, and the Tennessee Highway Patrol handles many wrecks on I-40, I-75, and I-640. Tennessee crash reports are generally available through the investigating agency and the state Department of Safety and Homeland Security. The officer can give you a report number before you leave the scene.

Which court would hear my Knoxville injury case?

A suit from a Knoxville crash is generally filed in the Knox County Circuit & Chancery Courts. Venue usually follows the county where the crash happened or where the other driver lives, which is why the county line matters more than the city limits. An attorney licensed in Tennessee sorts that out. We are not a law firm and we don't give legal advice.

My crash was near McGhee Tyson Airport. Is that still Knox County?

No. McGhee Tyson sits in Alcoa, in Blount County, south of the Knox County line. A crash there would generally be worked by Blount County agencies and filed in Blount County courts, even though the airport serves Knoxville. The one-year Tennessee deadline is the same in both counties. The paperwork just starts in a different building.

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.
