NST Law has been helping injury victims in Jackson, Tennessee, for more than three decades. Our trusted, compassionate attorneys are deeply experienced in personal injury law and have won billions of dollars for clients like you. If you or a loved one has been hurt in an accident, our Jackson personal injury lawyers are here to help.
Our skilled lawyers know how to handle all types of personal injury cases in Jackson, including:
If you’re injured in an accident in Jackson, you can recover economic and non-economic damages to compensate for the impacts on your life and well-being.
Economic damages are for monetary losses like medical bills, lost wages, and property damage, while non-economic damages include emotional distress, pain and suffering, and other losses without an objective financial value. However, Tennessee state law caps non-economic damages at $750,000 per case, or $1 million for catastrophic injury claims.
Punitive damages are also available in some rare cases as a penalty for egregious misconduct, such as severe negligence or intentional malice. Punitive damages are capped at twice the value of your other damages or $500,000, whichever is more, but some exceptions can remove that limit in certain circumstances.
You must establish a series of elements to prove liability in a personal injury case:
NST Law helps establish liability by gathering official reports, witness statements, expert testimony, and other evidence. We build every case for the possibility of trial, resulting in strongly-backed claims that get our clients the results they deserve.
Under Tennessee’s modified comparative fault rule, you can pursue a personal injury claim after an accident as long as you are less than 50% to blame. However, you will be barred from recovering compensation if you are primarily responsible for your injuries.
If you share fault for an accident, any award you receive for your injuries will be reduced proportionately to your percentage of liability. For example, if you were awarded $200,000 but were found to be 20% at fault for the accident, you would only receive $160,000.
Insurance companies may use your own words against you to shift blame and reduce their liability.
Tennessee’s statute of limitations for most personal injury and wrongful death claims is one year after the date of the accident. There are some exceptions, including a three-year deadline for claims involving property damage and six years for product liability cases. Medical malpractice claims can also delay the statute of limitations if an injury is discovered some time after it was inflicted.
Regardless of how much time you may have to file a claim under the law, it’s important to act as soon as possible. Evidence is strongest immediately after an accident, and waiting can lead you to lose your opportunity to recover compensation. Reach out to our trusted Jackson personal injury attorneys today for a free consultation.
Here are the steps you should take immediately after an accident in Jackson:
Move out of the way of any danger before doing anything else. Check yourself for any major injuries, then help others.
Seek care from a local medical provider like Jackson-Madison County General Hospital as soon as possible, even if you have no apparent injuries. Some injuries may take time to present, and getting looked at immediately will help generate medical records that will strengthen your case.
If you can remain on the scene briefly, take photos of any injuries or damage resulting from the accident. Collect information from the other party and any witnesses.
Call the police to have them create an official report.
Getting skilled legal help from NST Law is the first step toward protecting your legal rights, making a successful claim, and maximizing your compensation.

The Six Pillars of NST Law are the foundation for our firm, representing our commitment to client-first service and exceptional representation:
Auto Accident Caused by Construction Company: Our firm represented a young man who was severely injured in an automobile accident caused by a construction company who negligently failed to place proper traffic signs at an intersection. As a result, our client’s vehicle violently collided with another vehicle, and our client sustained traumatic and permanent brain injuries. We developed the case by retaining experts such as a life-care planner and a neurological psychologist to demonstrate the special needs of our client. The case was litigated and mediated with a settlement for over $2,200,000.00. Prior to settling the case, we were able to significantly reduce the client’s medical bills, which resulted in more money for the client.
Tennessee Couple Involved in a Head-On Car Collision: Our firm represented a Tennessee couple involved in an accident with a driver who hit them head on while driving on the wrong side of the road. The wife suffered significant injuries, while the husband passed away after being rushed to the hospital. NST filed suit to protect our clients’ rights. After conducting a thorough investigation into the facts of the accident and identifying all potentially liable parties, our firm was able to uncover two (2) additional insurance policies that were not previously disclosed, including an excess umbrella policy. The case resolved for the total policy limits of $1,400,000.00.
Wrongful Death After Car Accident: Our client, a young woman seven months pregnant, was seriously injured in a head-on collision. Tragically, her baby suffered a brain injury from the crash and passed away shortly after birth. Despite the defendant contesting liability, our legal team worked with top medical experts and secured a $1,300,000 settlement—more than double the insurer’s highest mediation offer.
I could not be any happier with the experience I had with NST. They took care of everything so all had I to do was focus on healing during this stressful time. I would recommend them to anyone needing a personal injury attorney. Thank you NST for all you did for me!!!
NST got me a great settlement for my car accident. They worked very quickly and efficiently, to make sure that I got what was deserved.
