After an accident, the financial and physical toll can add up quickly. Our Hendersonville injury lawyers are prepared to help you pursue the compensation you may be owed.
Were you hurt in a car collision, slip and fall, or any other accident in Hendersonville? You are granted one year from the date of the injury to file a personal injury claim under Tenn. Code § 28-3-104. The state also follows a modified comparative fault rule. Call our team at Alexander Shunnarah Trial Attorneys to preserve your claim.
An accident is overwhelming enough without dealing with one of the nation’s shortest statutes of limitations. Under Tenn. Code § 28-3-104, you have one year from the date of your injury to file a lawsuit. Insurance companies know this deadline. Some will slow things down on purpose, hoping the clock runs out before you get legal help.
Tennessee’s modified comparative fault rule is found in Tenn. Code § 29-11-103. Fault in an accident could be split between more than one party. If you’re found 49% or less at fault, your recovery is reduced by that amount.
However, if an insurer pushes that number to 50% or higher, your claim is barred. Adjusters use this tactic often. Our personal injury attorneys could challenge how you’re being unfairly blamed. You deserve maximum compensation after an accident, not excuses.
You may also need to consider the Tennessee Governmental Tort Liability Act, T.C.A. § 29-20-101 et seq. If your injury involved a city vehicle or any government-owned property, different rules may apply. Misunderstanding those rules could end your claim before it even starts. Speak to an attorney early, not when it’s too late.
Located only 18 miles from Nashville, Hendersonville is one of the fastest-growing cities in Sumner County. It’s a popular city known for housing many country music stars, including Johnny Cash and Conway Twitty. Yet, its infrastructure has struggled to keep up with population growth and tourism. Some stretches of road have been dangerous for years, including State Route 386, US-31E, and New Shackle Island Road.
State Route 386, also known as Vietnam Veterans Boulevard, connects Hendersonville and Nashville. The road has a long history of serious and fatal crashes, especially between Saundersville and Centerpoint Road. In 2025, Tennessee’s Department of Safety & Homeland Security reported 24 fatal and serious injury crashes in Sumner County.
US-31E, or Nashville Pike, runs through the heart of Hendersonville. The road carries a heavy mix of commuter and commercial traffic. New Shackle Island Road is another high-traffic area. Rear-end and sideswipe crashes occur regularly, particularly near the SR-386 interchange.
These major roads’ high speeds and curved sections leave little room for error. After any crash on these roads, evidence fades fast. And in Tennessee, so does your deadline.
