Misunderstandings of the statutes can cost you compensation, like in the tragic case in Nashville of a cerebral palsy patient who died due to possible malpractice. The case was dismissed due to confusion about filing deadlines. We do not let this happen at NST Law
As an injury victim, you may be eligible for the following types of damages:
verifiable monetary losses such as medical expenses, loss of income, loss of future income, and property damage
immeasurable damages such as mental and physical pain, suffering, disfigurement, loss of society, mental anguish, and similar losses
damages awarded to punish and deter the defendant and others from engaging in such conduct
Tennessee law limits compensation as follows:
• Non-economic damages are limited to $750,000 or $1,000,000 for catastrophic injuries.
• Punitive damages are limited to the greater of $500,000 or twice the total compensatory damages.
These limits do not apply to some instances involving malice, fraud, substance use, or the commission of a felony.
**Disclaimer: Every case is different, and there is no set amount of compensation you can receive.
The Tennessee Department of Treasury compensates victims of violent crime for medical expenses, funeral expenses, lost wages, loss of financial support, and more.
This is a program of last resort, meaning the program is available to crime victims who cannot claim compensation through alternate sources.
When you experience a severe injury, you will need to take immediate steps to protect your safety, well-being, and financial interests. The type of injury you experience will determine your course of action.

Personal injury occurs when negligent acts or omissions cause severe injury. To prove negligence, an accident victim must show the following:
You will need documentation to support these claims. Examples of documentation include police reports, medical bills, contracts, pay stubs, and any other applicable paperwork. Never concede fault or sign paperwork without an attorney.
Most personal injury cases in Tennessee have a short statute of limitations of just one year. The clock starts on the date the injury occurred unless the discovery rule applies. Under Tennessee’s discovery rule, the clock starts on the date the illness is or should reasonably have been discovered.
The statute of limitations is extended in some cases, such as cases involving criminal activity. Due to the time required to investigate and build a personal injury case, it is essential to contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible after your injury.
Wrongful death actions can only be pursued by immediate family members of the deceased or by a personal representative acting on behalf of the family. These family members include the spouse, children, or parents of the deceased. In their absence, the next of kin is eligible. Only one wrongful death action per decedent is permitted.
Family members may claim two categories of damages:

Below are answers to the most common questions we receive.
NST Law works on a contingency-fee arrangement, which means you pay nothing unless we win your case.
This depends on the type of case. In motor vehicle accidents, the driver and the vehicle owner are liable. In defective product cases, anyone in the manufacturing chain could be responsible.
In medical malpractice cases, any healthcare provider, including doctors, nurses, licensed or certified professionals, and even the facility itself, could be liable.
Under Tennessee’s modified comparative fault statute, you can receive compensation for your injuries as long as your share of the fault is less than 50%.
Settlements are agreements made between the two parties outside of court. Across the United States, 95% of personal injury cases settle outside of court. This speeds up the process and removes the risk of receiving no compensation, which could happen if you go to trial.
Medical bills and outstanding invoices will need to be paid before receiving funds. While most costs will be settled during the trial or pre-settlement negotiations, new expenses could be negotiated if necessary. Your lawyer will assist with these processes.
Settlements can be paid as a lump sum or structured as periodic payments. Due to the processes involved, it could take several weeks or months to receive your payout.
