Knoxville's highways and intersections are among the most dangerous in Tennessee – and insurance companies move fast to protect themselves.
A distracted driver drifts into your lane on I-40 as you head home through West Knoxville. A tractor-trailer jackknifes during a downpour at the I-75/I-40 split downtown. An impaired driver runs a red light on Kingston Pike or Alcoa Highway, t-boning your vehicle on the way to work.
Tennessee law puts a one-year clock on your claim.
The state enforces one of the shortest personal-injury filing windows in the country – the statute of limitations for most car accident claims is just one year from the date of the crash under T.C.A. § 28-3-104. Tennessee's modified comparative fault rule also bars any recovery if you are found 50% or more at fault. Insurance adjusters know both rules, and they routinely call injured drivers within days hoping for a recorded statement that shifts blame before the clock runs out.
How our Knoxville attorneys build your case.
At Wettermark Keith, we take those calls so you don't have to. Our team will:
- Investigate the crash scene and preserve evidence before it disappears.
- Pull police reports from Knox County and the Tennessee Highway Patrol.
- Work with accident reconstructionists when the crash facts are disputed.
- Identify every potentially liable party – driver, employer, insurer, and any commercial defendant.
- Build a case designed to beat Tennessee's 50% comparative-fault bar.
We handle claims for medical bills, lost wages, vehicle damage, pain and suffering, and – in cases involving drunk, distracted, or commercial drivers – punitive damages.
