A driver who hits you and flees leaves you injured and wondering how you will ever be paid. It happens everywhere in Tennessee, on the interstates through the metros, the highways, and in parking lots at shopping centers statewide. The good news is that a hit-and-run is not the end of your claim, because there are ways to recover even when the other driver is never found. At Howe.Law Injury & Accident Lawyers, we help hit-and-run victims across the state.
Tennessee's one-year deadline
Tennessee gives you just one year from the date of the crash to file a lawsuit under Tenn. Code Ann. § 28-3-104, one of the shortest deadlines in the country, and in a hit-and-run the early hours matter even more, because the evidence that can identify the fleeing driver disappears fast. We begin the investigation immediately.
Recovering through your uninsured motorist coverage
When the driver who hit you cannot be identified, the uninsured motorist coverage on your own auto policy typically steps in to pay for your injuries. This is coverage you already paid for, and using it is not supposed to raise your rates for a crash that was not your fault. We handle the claim against your own insurer, which often fights these claims harder than people expect, and we hold it to the coverage you bought.
Finding the driver who fled
A hit-and-run driver is sometimes identified, which opens a claim against that driver directly. We move quickly to pull footage from nearby businesses, traffic cameras, and doorbell cameras, to canvass for witnesses, and to work with the police investigation, because a partial plate or a paint transfer can be enough to track down the vehicle.
Tennessee's fifty percent rule
Under the rule from McIntyre v. Balentine, you recover nothing if you are found fifty percent or more at fault, and your recovery is reduced by your share below that line. Even in a hit-and-run, your own insurer may try to pin part of the blame on you to reduce what it pays. We build the evidence that shows the fleeing driver caused the crash.
Serving hit-and-run victims across Tennessee
Howe.Law represents hit-and-run victims throughout Tennessee, with offices in Nashville, Knoxville, and Murfreesboro. Wherever in the state a driver fled the scene, we serve you.
Reports, treatment, and filing your case
Report a hit-and-run to the local police department or, on an interstate, the Tennessee Highway Patrol as soon as possible, because a prompt report supports your uninsured motorist claim. We obtain that report along with your medical records, and when your own insurer will not pay fairly, we file suit in the county where the crash occurred, in that county's Circuit Court.
Speak with a Tennessee hit and run attorney
A driver who fled does not have to leave you without a recovery. Call (844) 876-4357 for a free consultation. We work on a contingency fee basis, so you owe no attorney fee unless we recover compensation for you.
Common questions
The driver who hit me was never found. Can I still recover?
Usually yes. The uninsured motorist coverage on your own policy is designed for exactly this situation and typically pays for your injuries when the at-fault driver cannot be identified. We handle that claim for you and hold your insurer to the coverage you paid for.
Will using my own uninsured motorist coverage raise my rates?
Making a claim for a crash that was not your fault is not supposed to increase your rates. This is coverage you already bought for this exact purpose, and we make sure your insurer honors it.
What should I do right after a hit-and-run?
Write down everything you remember about the vehicle, get the names of witnesses, photograph the scene and damage, report it to the police promptly, and seek medical care. Then contact us quickly so we can secure the footage before it is overwritten.
Cases We Handle
We represent injury victims across Georgia, Tennessee, and Mississippi in a wide range of accident and injury cases.

I really just appreciate the professionalism and knowledge given from speaking with your firm during consultation. It definitely makes it feel comfortable if the need to move forward with the service of your firm
Richard was extremely helpful, and even though my case wasn't the best fit for his firm, he took extra time to give me direction and clarity to help me with the next steps... Far beyond what he needed to. I'm extremely grateful I contacted his firm.
I had a question about a collection we are going through and Richard himself answered the call and provided a lot of insight to what our next steps would be at no charge. I highly recommend this firm. They are here to help.
I was in a vulnerable state after my accident and appreciated Nathalie for listening, being compassionate and offering guidance. I am truly grateful I called. Thank you so much!
I was really stressed about everything and didn't know where to start but the team took the time to walk me through each step and made sure I understood what was happening. They explained the whole process in a way that actually made sense and I never felt confused or left in the dark, they were super helpful and responsive whenever I had questions.
