What are the grounds upon which one may recover for an automobile accident or other personal injury case?
This varies from case to case. Generally, Tennessee uses a comparative fault analysis and a Plaintiff may be up to 49% at fault which will reduce damages according to the percentage of fault but it will not bar one from recovery totally unless the Plaintiff’s fault is 50% or greater, in which case there is no recovery. This is called comparative fault analysis and is something a jury reports to the Judge at the end of a trial.
