Frequently Asked Questions About Civil Lawsuits

Below are answers to common questions we hear about civil litigation.

What is the statute of limitations for filing a civil lawsuit in Tennessee?

The deadline to file a lawsuit in Tennessee depends on the nature of the disputes. For example, the statute of limitations for fraud claims and property damage claims is three years, while it is usually six years for breach of contract claims. Our attorneys can help you identify the specific deadline for your case.

Can I settle a civil dispute without going to trial?

Yes, many cases are resolved before trial. This can be done through traditional negotiation or methods such as mediation and arbitration. We can help you explore all avenues for bringing your case to a successful conclusion.

Can I recover attorney’s fees if I win my case?

In Tennessee, this is generally not among the compensation/damages that can be awarded. However, exceptions exist. For example, you may be able to recover fees from the other side if a specific statute or contract provision permits it. Our litigation and breach of contract lawyers can help you determine if an exception could apply in your case.
