Who Can File a Car Accident Claim in Tennessee?

After a motor vehicle crash in Tennessee, individuals who are injured or suffer losses as a result of another driver’s negligence may be entitled to file a personal injury claim. In most cases, the right to pursue a claim belongs to the person who was directly injured in the collision, including drivers, passengers, pedestrians, or bicyclists. These claims are designed to help injured parties recover damages while holding negligent drivers accountable.

Vehicle owners may also be eligible to file claims for property damage, even if they were not driving at the time of the crash. Additionally, parents or legal guardians may file claims on behalf of minors who are injured in traffic accidents. If an injured person is unable to pursue a claim due to the severity of their injuries or incapacity, a legal representative may act on their behalf to protect their interests.

Compensation in a crash-related claim may include medical expenses, ongoing rehabilitation costs, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, property damage, and other accident-related losses. Because Tennessee law imposes strict deadlines, including a statute of limitations for filing injury claims, early legal guidance can be fundamental to preserving evidence, meeting legal requirements, and maximizing potential recovery.
