Understanding Car Accidents in Dickson County

Dickson County, situated in Middle Tennessee, is known for its scenic routes and bustling communities. However, with the increase in traffic, car accidents have become a significant concern. The county's major highways, including Interstate 40 and Highway 70, often see heavy traffic, leading to a higher incidence of accidents.

Factors such as weather conditions, road maintenance, and driver behavior can all contribute to the frequency of accidents in the area.

In Tennessee, the law requires drivers to have liability insurance, which covers damages caused by an accident. Unfortunately, many drivers fail to maintain adequate coverage, complicating the claims process.

How Our Firm Can Help

In the aftermath of a car accident, insurance companies will get involved in determining fault and covering associated damages. It is not uncommon for these companies to try to place the blame on the victim—even when that person was not at all at fault.

When this happens, the vulnerable injured person may agree to a lower settlement offer than what is actually owed, believing it to be the best or only option available. Do not let this happen to you.

Our Dickson County auto accident lawyer can help you by:

• Investigating your car accident
• Helping you determine liability and gather evidence
• Calculating your damages
• Identifying all applicable sources of insurance coverage
• Answering your questions and providing individualized guidance and support for your case
• Negotiating with insurance adjusters on your behalf
• Build a strong case on your behalf
• Arranging for your vehicle to get repaired or replaced, if applicable
• Taking your case to court if the insurance company is not willing to settle
• Filing other necessary documents and paperwork
• Be available to answer any questions or concerns you may have as you seek the best possible recovery

Create Stability with a Compensation Package

Victims of car accidents in Dickson County may be entitled to various forms of compensation, depending on the specifics of their case. This compensation can include:

• Medical Expenses: Compensation for current and future medical bills related to the accident, including hospital stays, surgeries, rehabilitation, and therapy.
• Lost Wages: If your injuries prevent you from working, you may recover lost wages for the time you cannot work, as well as potential future earnings if the injuries affect your ability to work long-term.
• Pain and Suffering: Non-economic damages, such as physical pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life, can also be claimed.
• Property Damage: Compensation for damage to your vehicle and personal property involved in the accident.
• Wrongful Death: If a car accident results in death, surviving family members may pursue a wrongful death claim to recover damages related to the loss.

All car accidents are painful, but losing someone you love unexpectedly as a result of a car crash is uniquely painful. It is also typically followed by unimaginable hardship—financial and beyond.

In the immediate aftermath of losing a family member, funeral expenses and time spent taking care of these pressing matters can put surviving family members in a vulnerable position right out of the gate.

As time goes on, surviving family members may struggle to pay for everyday expenses and bills, in addition to the grief they are rightfully feeling. Our car accident lawyer in Dickson County can help you build a strong case proving that your loved one's death was preventable and that their injuries and damages directly led to their fatal car accident.

Statute of Limitations for Car Accidents Claims

In Tennessee, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim related to a car accident is typically one year from the date of the accident. Missing this deadline can result in losing your right to seek compensation.
