Fighting for Compensation After a Tennessee Car Accident
If you suffered injuries in a Tennessee car accident, compensation could top your list of priorities. After all, you have significant bills, from the cost of your medical treatment to the lost income from your accident.
At Dolman Law Group Accident Injury Lawyers, PA, we cannot guarantee the compensation you will recover for your injuries.
Many factors can influence the compensation you will ultimately receive, including:
- Who caused your accident
- The insurance policy that covers the liable party
- The injuries you suffered in the accident
- The extent of your damages from the accident
We help our clients look at the damages they sustained and what compensation they may deserve for those specific losses.
Compensation for Medical Bills
Adding up the cost of medical treatment for your Tennessee car accident injuries can take time. Car accidents often result in severe injuries, including brain injuries, back and neck injuries, broken bones, burns, and severe lacerations. Consider not only the bills from your medical care providers over time but also the cost of co-pays and deductibles, which you may have to pay at the time of treatment.
Coverage for Lost Income
Income losses can prove devastating after a car accident. Maybe you cannot work for weeks or months as you recover from your car accident injuries. As a result, many people deal with immense financial difficulties related to their car accidents. Including your income losses as part of your claim makes it much easier to recover your financial situation and deal effectively with the other challenges ahead of you as you rebuild your life.
Compensation for Pain and Suffering
Not only can you end up dealing with severe financial losses after your car accident, but you may also face immense pain and suffering related to your injuries. As part of your car accident claim, Dolman Law Group Accident Injury Lawyers, PA, can help you include compensation for your suffering.
Tennessee Car Accidents: What You Need to Know
Tennessee sees an average of more than 1,000 motorists killed every year. Tens of thousands of drivers across the state face severe injuries. In Tennessee, drivers may need to act fast to seek compensation for their injuries: the Tennessee statute of limitations allows just one year from the accident date for injured car accident victims to pursue compensation.
Common Causes of Car Accidents in Tennessee
Tennessee drivers can commit many errors and negligent acts that increase the risk of a car accident.
- Driving while distracted. The Hands Free Tennessee policy requires drivers to put down their phones and keep their attention on the road while driving. Unfortunately, Tennessee drivers still have a high risk of distracted driving accidents.
- Speeding. At high rates of speed, Tennessee drivers may cause more severe injuries and increase the overall risk of an accident.
- Failing to slow down around deer. Deer cause disabling damage to more than 2,000 vehicles across Tennessee yearly, according to the Tennessee Highway Patrol. However, many drivers do not realize the risks deer can pose and speed through areas with a high risk of running into deer.
- Driving in dangerous conditions. Tennessee drivers rarely see conditions like snow and ice, which means that on rare occasions when they occur, drivers need to slow down to avoid accidents.
- Ignoring the rules of the road. Traffic signs and signals exist to help drivers navigate safely. When Tennessee drivers do not follow the rules of the road, they increase the risk of an accident.
When a driver's negligent actions cause a car accident, the other driver will generally have the right to pursue compensation through that driver's insurance company for any damages sustained because of the accident.
Fighting the Insurance Company After a Tennessee Car Accident
A Tennessee car accident can cause significant damage to your vehicle, your finances, and your health. As a result, you may deserve substantial compensation from the insurance company that covers the driver that caused your accident. However, that does not necessarily mean the insurance company will make that process easy.
You may find yourself:
- Dealing with low settlement offers.
- Struggling to get the insurance company to accept its driver's liability for the accident.
- Fighting to get the insurance company to recognize the full extent of your injuries.
Many Tennessee insurance companies also have substantial legal teams that will fight to protect the insurance company rather than protect your right to fair compensation.
At Dolman Law Group Accident Injury Lawyers, PA, we understand the struggles you can face as you deal with the insurance company, and we have the resources to help. We provide our clients with comprehensive legal representation they can count on as they navigate the difficult claim process.

Tennessee Car Accident FAQ
Who Pays My Medical Bills After a Tennessee Car Accident?
When you suffer injuries in a car accident, you, as the party seeking and receiving medical care, will need to make arrangements to cover the cost of those bills.
However, you may have several options that can help you:
- Use your health insurance to cover many of your initial medical costs.
- Look into whether the hospital has policies that can help with financial hardship, which may reduce the financial burden of your medical bills.
- You can use the funds from a car accident claim to help cover the cost of medical treatment for the injuries sustained in a car crash.
Should I Accept the First Offer From the Insurance Company After a Tennessee Car Accident?
A settlement offer from the insurance company after your car accident can feel like a potent relief. A car accident settlement will provide you with the funds you need to help cover the cost of medical treatment and manage your other bills.
However, an initial settlement offer, especially one that comes very early after your car accident, may fail to reflect the full damages you sustained.
Accepting that offer may mean you do not receive compensation covering all the damages related to your car accident. Talk to your lawyer about the compensation you deserve for your injuries and how you should respond to a settlement offer that fails to reflect those needs.
If I Suffered Injuries in a Tennessee Car Accident but Did Not Seek Immediate Medical Care, Can I Still File a Claim?
If you suffered injuries in a Tennessee car accident, regardless of when you discovered those injuries and pursued medical care, you have the right to compensation for those injuries.
However, if you waited to seek medical treatment, even if you did not realize the severity of your injuries at the time of the accident, it can prove more difficult to establish that the car crash caused them. As a result, the liable party's insurance company may refuse to pay you compensation for those damages.
Talk to a lawyer as soon as you realize that you suffered injuries to help guide the claim process and provide you with more information about how to establish liability for your injuries.
