Car Accidents claims in Murfreesboro

The wrecks that put people in a hospital here are not always on the interstate. Old Fort Parkway, Memorial Boulevard, Medical Center Parkway — commercial strips with turn lanes, driveways all along them, and drivers looking for an address instead of a car. The Square's one-way loop catches out-of-towners too. Tennessee is an at-fault state, so the other driver's insurer pays if their driver caused it. That is exactly why the same insurer goes to work on making part of it yours, because under the 50% bar, once your share crosses half, there is nothing left to reduce. Their adjuster starts that work early.
How fault gets decided can end a car accident case in Murfreesboro before it starts. Tennessee's rule: Modified comparative negligence, 50% bar. You have 1 year to file. Rear-end, intersection, and highway collisions — the most common case we help with.

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.
