What is the value of my personal injury claim in Tennessee?

While everyone’s personal injury claim in Maryville is different, some general principles apply. At Banks & Jones, our Maryville personal injury lawyers understand the evidence necessary to support your claim for damages.

We can’t state strongly enough that you should never negotiate with the insurance companies for the defendants yourself. Insurance companies are not your friends. They only understand strong evidence, documentation of your damages, persuasive arguments, and the certainty that if they don’t present a fair offer, experienced lawyers will hold their insureds accountable in court.

We demand compensation for your current and future:

  • Financial damages. Lost wages and benefits (including permanent disability compensation), medical expenses, and property damage.
  • Non-economic damages. Your physical pain and emotional Other non-economic damages (those not easily quantifiable) include compensation for scarring and disfigurement, loss of bodily function, loss of enjoyment of life, and loss of consortium (ability to enjoy spousal intimacy).
  • Punitive damages. These damages are designed to punish wrongdoers. They may be appropriate when the defendant’s conduct is egregious and unconscionable.

We handle personal injury claims in Maryville on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only receive compensation if you receive compensation.

How much time do I have to file my Maryville personal injury claim?

In Tennessee, you only have one year from the date of the accident to file your personal injury claim. Shorter time frames may apply, such as when you file a claim against a state agency.

We recommend that you contact us immediately since even a short delay could hurt your claim. We investigate the accident site, speak with witnesses, talk to your doctors, notify the insurance companies, and file your claim as quickly as possible – while everyone’s memories are fresh.
