Tennessee is not one of those states. Tennessee is considered a ?fault state,? meaning that if you are injured in a car accident here and another driver is at fault, you may be able to recover damages from them and from their insurance company in a personal injury suit.

Call the State of TN Auto Accident Call Center immediately at (855) 253-0629 with date, time, and location of the incident, as well as any additional information you may have. Take photos of both vehicles, as well as the license plate and VIN tag of the other vehicle (on the driver-side dash, near the windshield).

Leaving the scene of an accident without reporting it to the police might be considered a hit and run offense under Tennessee Code § 55-10-102(a). In addition, waiting too long to contact an insurance company might make the insurance company wary of your claims and more likely to deny your compensation.

What happens if you get into a car accident with no insurance in Tennessee? Insurance has no impact on determining fault after a car accident. The person who caused the car accident is liable for damages regardless of whether they have insurance.

Any driver/owner/passenger or their agent or legal representative may purchase a copy of the Crash Report for a fee of $4.00. The reports are available approximately 7 days after the date of the crash at the THP District Office. This can be purchased through the mail, or by visiting their office in person.

If this is an emergency please call 911. No police action/follow-up will be taken as these reports are for documentation purposes only. Complete the report at the scene and include the driver's license, vehicle, and insurance information for all parties involved. Politely exchange driver and insurance information.
