Frequently asked questions

What should I do after a crash in Nashville?

Get medical care, call the police, take photos, and collect names, plates and insurance details. Keep your bills, and be careful with recorded statements to the other insurer.

What if the other driver has no insurance?

Your uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage may pay, if you have it. Check your policy and ask a lawyer if the insurer disputes it.

How long do I have to file?

Generally 1 year under T.C.A. 28-3-104. Don't assume insurance negotiations extend it.
