Accidents in and around Murfreesboro

I-24 between Murfreesboro and Nashville is a commute, not a highway. It fills up early. A rear-end wreck in that stop-and-go sounds minor until it's your neck, and then you're the one taking calls from an adjuster who wants a recorded statement about your speed before you've seen a doctor who can say what's actually wrong. Tennessee gives you one year to file. Murfreesboro police work city crashes, and the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office covers the county, including long stretches of US-231. A suit would go to the Rutherford County Circuit & Chancery Courts. A year sounds like plenty of time, and it goes faster than that.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I get a crash report in Murfreesboro?

Ask the agency that responded. Murfreesboro Police reports cover crashes inside the city, the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office covers the county, and the Tennessee Highway Patrol works many I-24 wrecks. Tennessee crash reports generally come from the investigating agency or the state Department of Safety and Homeland Security. Do it early. Details you remember clearly in week one are gone by month three.

Which court would hear my Murfreesboro injury case?

Murfreesboro is the Rutherford County seat, so a personal injury suit would generally be filed in the Rutherford County Circuit & Chancery Courts. The county where the crash happened usually sets venue, not where you live. If your wreck was farther up I-24 on the Davidson County side, the filing likely moves with it.

I commute on I-24 to Nashville. Which county was my crash in?

It depends on the mile marker, and it's worth pinning down. I-24 crosses from Rutherford County into Davidson County partway along that commute, and the county decides which sheriff's office, which courthouse, and which jury pool. The crash report usually names the county. If you can't tell from the paperwork, an attorney can read the location off the report.

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.
