What is the Personal Injury Statute of Limitations in Tennessee?

In Tennessee, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally one year from the date of the injury or accident. This means that you must file a lawsuit within one year of the date of the injury or accident, or you may lose your right to seek compensation for your damages.

However, there are some exceptions to this general rule:

• If the injury was not discovered immediately: If you did not discover your injury immediately after the accident or incident, the statute of limitations may begin to run from the date you discovered or should have discovered the injury.
• If the injury victim is a minor: If the victim is a minor (under 18), the statute of limitations may be extended. In Tennessee, the statute of limitations for minors generally begins to run on their 18th birthday, and they have one year from that date to file a lawsuit.
• If the injury was caused by medical malpractice: If the injury was caused by medical malpractice, the statute of limitations is generally one year from the date of the discovery of the injury or within three years from the date of the negligent act, whichever comes first.

It is important to note that the statute of limitations can be a complicated legal concept, and other exceptions or circumstances could affect your case. It is recommended that you consult with an experienced personal injury attorney in Tennessee to determine the applicable statute of limitations and ensure that you file your claim in a timely manner.
