What Is Personal Injury?
A personal injury case arises when someone experiences an injury or death from an accident caused by someone else. An injury can include more than a physical injury– it also encompasses emotional and mental harm as well as reputational damage.
An accident qualifies as a personal injury case if the person at fault can be proven negligent. In cases that don’t involve direct negligence, a case can still be filed against the person at fault based on:
Either way, you may face numerous medical bills and other costs associated with the accident, including legal fees. And if you end up with a permanent injury or disability, you’ll have to continue paying for ongoing medical care.
Working with an attorney is essential to get proper compensation, so you can cover all your expenses.

What Action Can You Take If You’ve Had a Personal Injury?
If you’ve experienced a personal injury yourself or a loved one experienced an accident that led to a wrongful death or significant injury, it’s important to contact a personal injury attorney. An attorney can get you the compensation you’re entitled to through their legal expertise and negotiation skills.
Once you retain an experienced attorney, they can help you file a personal injury lawsuit, where they’ll work to prove that the person at fault was responsible for your injury.
Aside from filing a lawsuit, another common action is entering settlement negotiations. With a settlement, there would be no court case. This can be a good option if both sides don’t want to deal with the hassle of a lengthy trial in court.
Instead, your attorney will negotiate with the other party’s attorney to get you fair compensation for your injury.

William Hess
"My 16 year old daughter, 63 year old mother and 2 year old nephew were hit head on in Sevier County (with multiple injuries) & the gentleman who hit them's insurance company kept telling us to keep receipts & they would reimburse all out of pocket expenses. We were coming up on a year(when the statute of limitations runs out) so I contacted OEB Law because the insurance company wouldn't even talk to us. Billy at OEB Law got on the case quickly and was able to get all bills paid, $ for lost wages, attorney fees, & they each got $ for pain & suffering. I would highly recommend this firm for any litigation. We were all extremely impressed with the sincerity & promptness of the group.🙂"

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Tennessee?
In Tennessee, you have one year from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. This deadline is set by the Tennessee statute of limitations under Tennessee Code Annotated § 28-3-104. Missing this deadline almost always means losing your right to compensation entirely. Contact an attorney as soon as possible after an accident.
How much does a personal injury attorney cost in Tennessee?
OEB Law handles personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis — meaning you pay no attorney fees unless we win your case. There are no upfront costs and no hourly charges. Our fee is collected as a percentage of your final settlement or court award only after we successfully recover compensation for you.
What should I do immediately after an accident in Tennessee?
After an accident in Tennessee, take these steps: (1) Call 911 and report the accident. (2) Seek medical attention immediately, even if injuries seem minor. (3) Document the scene with photos and gather witness contact information. (4) Exchange insurance and contact information with all parties involved. (5) Do not admit fault or give a recorded statement to any insurance company. (6) Contact a Knoxville personal injury attorney before accepting any settlement offer.
What is comparative fault and how does it affect my Tennessee injury claim?
Tennessee follows a modified comparative fault rule under Tennessee Code Annotated § 29-11-103. This means your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault in causing the accident. However, if you are found to be 50% or more at fault, you are barred from recovering any damages at all. An experienced attorney can help minimize your assigned fault percentage and protect your recovery.
Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault for my accident in Tennessee?
Yes, as long as you are found to be less than 50% responsible for the accident, you can still recover compensation under Tennessee law. For example, if you are 30% at fault and your damages total $100,000, you would recover $70,000. Insurance companies often try to inflate your fault percentage to reduce or eliminate your payout. Having an attorney on your side makes a significant difference.
