Slip & Fall claims in Knoxville

Brick and old stone are part of the appeal downtown, and they are also uneven, slick when wet, and everywhere from Market Square through the Old City. A fall case asks a different question than a wreck does: not who hit whom, but whether the property owner knew about the hazard, or should have known, and did nothing about it in time. Winter ice on a sloped sidewalk raises that question fast. Report it the same day. Photograph the spot before it gets swept, salted, or repaired. After that the only proof left is your own description of what it looked like.
How fault gets decided can end a slip-and-fall case in Knoxville before it starts. Tennessee's rule: Modified comparative negligence, 50% bar. You have 1 year to file. Injured on someone else's property — a store, a business, or private premises.

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.
