A: Your Daughter will probably need to sue the other driver and/or owner. I recommend initially filing in General Sessions Court. She needs to go to the Court Hearing on the other's Citation for a Rule of the Road violation, and make sure the Judge knows she is there as a victim on his case. If he is found guilty, then normally he is liable to the other driver for damages due to negligence per se. You may wish to hire a competent attorney.
A: She should consult with a member of the Tenn. Assn for Justice/Tenn Trial Lawyers Assn for the county where the wreck happened. They give free consultations.
