What You Should Expect from Your Cheatham County Personal Injury Attorney

When you schedule your initial consultation to discuss your accident claim with Attorney Rhonda R. Crabtree, she will initially take the time to learn about you and your case. Then, our legal team will perform the in-depth analytical work that’s necessary to prepare a successful case. This includes acquiring copies of your medical records, bills that you’ve paid, lost wage information, police reports on the accident, insurance company reports, first responder reports, etc. Oftentimes, it will be necessary to go the scene of the accident, review video footage, and interview witnesses. While you’re healing from your injuries or caring for a loved one, Rhonda R. Crabtree will be working hard to pursue your legal claims through the at-fault parties, their insurers, and in the Tennessee courts.

What You Need to Do if You’re Involved in an Accident

If you or a loved one has been involved in an accident, immediately seek medical attention — obtaining medical treatment is not a bar to suing those responsible for your injuries. If you are approached by someone representing the at-fault party, like the insurer or a lawyer, don’t sign anything. Insurers are often in a rush to get you to commit to a fast settlement, which is usually for a lower amount than you might have otherwise eventually received. Then, contact a reputable, trustworthy, and experienced personal injury lawyer, like Attorney Rhonda R. Crabtree. A professional attorney can be invaluable when it comes to recovering your losses.

Commonly Asked Questions

What should I do immediately after a personal injury accident in Ashland City?

Immediately following a personal injury accident, you should seek medical attention for any injuries, document the scene and gather evidence, and report the incident to local authorities. It's also advisable to avoid discussing the details with insurance companies until you have consulted a legal professional.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Tennessee?

In Tennessee, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally one year from the date of the accident. It’s important to file your claim within this time frame to preserve your right to seek compensation.

What kinds of damages can I recover in a personal injury case?

In a personal injury case, you may be able to recover various types of damages including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and property damage. The specific damages applicable will depend on the circumstances of your case.

Do I need to hire a lawyer for a personal injury claim?

While it's not mandatory to hire a lawyer for a personal injury claim, having legal representation can significantly enhance your chances of receiving fair compensation. A lawyer can help navigate the complexities of the legal system, negotiate with insurance companies, and represent your interests.

What is comparative fault and how does it affect my claim?

Comparative fault is a legal doctrine that assigns a percentage of fault to each party involved in an accident. In Tennessee, if you are found to be partially at fault for the accident, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are found to be more than 50% at fault, you may be barred from recovering any damages.
