Decatur, TN asked in Car Accidents, Personal Injury and Civil Litigation for South Carolina

Q: I was involved in an auto accident on 9/29/17. Is it too late to file a personal injury suit? My pain has worsened since

In addition, though I was not at fault and did not receive a citation, my driving record is showing me at fault causing my insurance rate to increase. How do I fix this?

1 Lawyer Answer

A: In TN, you have three years within which to file and serve a lawsuit (there are some exceptions such as if the at-fault party works for a municipality...). There are a few issues i can already see such as have you gone to the doctor yet? If not, that could be an issue. You really should simply call a local attorney on this cite, without charge, and get some solid advise. You should be able to get the driving record fixed easy enough and an attorney can assist with that as well. I hope you get to feeling better soon.
