Question 1

What personal injury case types do you cover in Tennessee?

Accepted Answer

All major Tennessee personal injury practice areas: car accident / auto / MVA, truck and commercial vehicle, motorcycle, rideshare (Uber and Lyft), pedestrian and bicyclist, slip and fall / premises liability, dog bite, wrongful death, workplace and construction injuries, product liability, and medical malpractice. Medical malpractice is a recurring Tennessee category given the state's damages-cap structure; we route med-mal intake separately. You can focus on one case type, a subset, or the full PI spectrum.

Question 2

Do you generate Tennessee slip and fall / premises liability leads?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tennessee premises liability is one of the highest-sustained-volume categories in our Tennessee program. Tennessee landowners owe invitees a duty of reasonable care, with liability typically requiring actual or constructive notice of the hazard. Surveillance footage preservation timing, incident report status, and witness capture drive Tennessee slip-and-fall outcomes, particularly given the 1-year filing clock and the 50% comparative-fault bar. Typical TN slip-and-fall case values run $10,000 to $50,000, with severe falls (TBI, fracture, surgical back/neck) pushing six figures. We screen for notice, statute, and comparative fault before delivery.

Question 3

What is the statute of limitations for Tennessee personal injury claims?

Accepted Answer

One year from the date of injury under Tenn. Code Ann. § 28-3-104, one of the shortest personal injury statutes of limitations in the country. The 1-year clock applies to most personal injury claims including auto, premises, dog bite, medical malpractice, libel, and wrongful death. Tennessee's wrongful death statute is unusual: it runs one year from the date of the underlying injury, not the date of death, which can compress the timeline severely when a victim survives for weeks or months. Tolling exceptions are narrow (minors, mental incapacity). Claims against the State of Tennessee under the Tennessee Claims Commission and against governmental entities under the Tennessee Governmental Tort Liability Act both run on 1-year deadlines. The 1-year clock is the single most important screening criterion on every Tennessee file.

Question 4

How does Tennessee's 50% bar comparative-fault rule affect case values?

Accepted Answer

Tennessee adopted modified comparative fault in 1992 in McIntyre v. Balentine, replacing the prior contributory negligence rule. Under the 50% bar, a plaintiff can recover damages only if their fault is less than 50% of the total fault. At 50% or more, recovery is barred entirely. Damages are reduced proportionally for any plaintiff fault below 50%. On premises and merchant cases, defense carriers regularly invoke contributory-conduct arguments (open-and-obvious, plaintiff inattention, pre-existing condition) that target the 50% threshold. Intake screening that captures surveillance preservation timing, incident-report status, and witness information early consistently correlates with stronger demand positions on Tennessee files.

Question 5

How does Tennessee's $750,000 noneconomic damages cap affect case values?

Accepted Answer

The Tennessee Civil Justice Act of 2011 (Tenn. Code § 29-39-102) caps noneconomic damages at $750,000 in the aggregate per injured plaintiff in most civil actions. The cap covers all noneconomic damages combined, including pain and suffering and loss of consortium and any derivative claim by spouse or children. The cap rises to $1,000,000 if the injury or loss is catastrophic in nature. Economic damages (medical expenses, lost wages, future care) are not capped. Practically, the cap pushes case-value emphasis toward economic-damages modeling and lifetime-care projections on severe-injury files, and changes the demand math on otherwise pain-and-suffering-driven cases.

Question 6

Are Tennessee dog bite claims different?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tennessee's Dianna Acklen Act (Tenn. Code Ann. § 44-8-413, 2007) imposes strict liability on dog owners when the dog injures a person while "running at large" in a public place or lawfully on private property of another, regardless of whether the dog had previously shown dangerous propensities. There is a "residential exclusion": when the bite occurs on the owner's own property, the victim must prove the traditional one-bite rule (scienter, meaning the owner knew or should have known of vicious propensity). Defenses include the dog being a police/military dog on duty, the victim trespassing, the dog defending someone, the dog being securely confined, or the victim provoking the dog. The 1-year SOL applies.

Question 7

How much do Tennessee personal injury leads cost?

Accepted Answer

Tennessee is a competitive PI Google Ads auction. Personal injury CPCs across Tennessee generally run $60 to $200, with Nashville and Memphis at the top end. National benchmarks for high-volume queries like "car accident lawyer" run $150 to $300 per click. We price per lead with no monthly minimums and no contracts. Contact us for current pricing by county and case type.

Question 8

Can I target specific Tennessee counties?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All 95 counties. Highest sustained volume comes from Shelby (Memphis), Davidson (Nashville), Knox (Knoxville), Hamilton (Chattanooga), Rutherford, Williamson, Sumner, and Madison. Target at the county or zip level so you only pay for leads in your actual service area.

Question 9

Are your Tennessee leads pre-screened against the 1-year SOL?

Accepted Answer

Yes, aggressively. Tennessee's 1-year clock is the operationally critical fact on every TN file: every day a lead waits in a queue is a day off the prescription clock, and Tennessee's wrongful death clock runs from date of injury (not date of death), which compresses the timeline further on survival cases. Our delivery includes a SOL pre-screen that flags any lead within 60 days of the 1-year mark for accelerated routing.

Question 10

Any contracts, minimums, or setup fees?

Accepted Answer

None. No monthly minimums, no subscriptions, no setup fees for standard onboarding. Pay per lead. Pause or resume anytime. Invalid leads are replaced under our standard policy.
