Accidents in and around Memphis

Memphis runs on freight. I-40 and I-55 cross the Mississippi here, I-240 rings the city, and the trucks tied to the airport's cargo operation keep moving long after the commuter traffic clears out. Get hit by one of them and you're not arguing with a neighbor's insurance company anymore, you're dealing with a carrier, a company adjuster, and sometimes an investigator who reaches the scene before you've finished talking to the police. Tennessee gives you one year. Memphis police work crashes inside the city limits. The Shelby County Sheriff's Office covers what's outside them. A suit would land in the Shelby County Circuit & Chancery Courts.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I get a crash report in Memphis?

It depends on who responded. The Memphis Police Department handles crashes inside the city, the Shelby County Sheriff's Office covers unincorporated areas, and the Tennessee Highway Patrol works many wrecks on I-40, I-55, and I-240. Tennessee crash reports generally come from the investigating agency or the state Department of Safety and Homeland Security. Write the report number down at the scene if you can.

Which court handles a Memphis injury case?

Memphis sits in Shelby County, so a personal injury suit would generally be filed in the Shelby County Circuit & Chancery Courts. Tennessee also has General Sessions Courts that hear smaller civil claims, and which one fits your situation is a question for an attorney, not for us. We are not a law firm. We connect you with an independent, licensed attorney who works in that courthouse.

What if my crash happened across the state line?

The Memphis area runs into Mississippi and Arkansas, and the law generally follows the place of the crash, not your address. Tennessee's one-year filing deadline applies to a Tennessee wreck. Mississippi generally allows three years, and Arkansas has its own rule. Tell us the road and the side of the line you were on, and we'll match you with an attorney licensed there.

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.
