1. In general, Tennessee is an at-fault state when it comes to car accidents. This means that the driver who is determined to be at fault in a crash will typically be responsible for the damages and injuries that result.

2. There are a few exceptions to this rule, however. For example, if you are hit by a driver who is uninsured or underinsured, you may be able to file a claim against your own insurance policy.

4. Ultimately, if you are involved in a car accident in Tennessee, it is important to speak with an attorney to determine who is at fault and what steps you need to take next.
