How Comparative Fault Works After a Car Accident in Smyrna, TN
Tennessee follows a modified comparative fault system, in which a person can still recover compensation after a car accident even if they were partly responsible, as long as their share of fault is under fifty percent.
If fault is split closer to equal, the amount of compensation can be reduced based on the percentage assigned to each driver.
Insurance adjusters tend to try to assign a larger share of blame to the other driver to reduce what they pay out. To avoid this, it is important to have evidence such as skid marks, vehicle damage, and nearby traffic camera footage.
This communication can help clarify exactly how the accident occurred. Fault percentages can significantly change the amount recovered, so having accurate documentation matters.
However, it is worth considering that some of this evidence can disappear quickly. Traffic camera footage may only be kept for a short period, and vehicle damage can be repaired or the vehicles sold before it’s fully documented.
In order to not lose this evidence, many people turn to a car accident lawyer who can help track down and preserve this kind of evidence before it becomes harder to obtain. A lawyer can also help evaluate how Tennessee’s comparative fault rule might apply to each specific claim.
