Eye witness Willie Rios was working at his body shop when he saw the car speed past and then heard the crash. He claims that the car must have been travelling at 100mph. Rios heard the noise but he didn’t actually see the crash. He also heard a lot of people crying as someone had been killed in the accident.

Police said that at the moment they had not filed any charges. Kirchner was taken to a nearby hospital for a blood test but there was no presence of alcohol or drugs in his system. 

An officer at the scene said that they will reconstruct the scene to determine whether speed was the cause or there were other factors that contributed to the accident. All this evidence could prove vital in a compensation claim following the accident and Nashville, TN accident lawyers are all over case trying to see the different angles.

Personal Injury laws in Tennessee

Tennessee accident attorneys point out that the victim has a year from the date of the crash to file a personal injury civil suit against the at-fault driver. Tennessee is a shared fault state. This means that when a victim submits a claim with the other driver’s insurer or files a personal injury lawsuit, the other party might insist that the claim is unjustified because the victim was partly responsible for the accident.

If the defendant is able to prove that the plaintiff had a partial role in the accident the judge will reduce the award and calculate the compensation based comparative fault rule. This may come into play with the Suk Rai case discussed above, Suk Rai may not have had the right away.  

This means that if the judge believes you are 20% at fault and your claim is $10,000 then you will get $2,000 less i.e. $8,000. If your fault is over 50% you will get no compensation and Nashville, TN accident lawyers inform clients of this all the time.
