Where Washington County wrecks happen
Jonesborough is Tennessee’s oldest town, but its traffic is modern. U.S. 11E carries commuters between Johnson City and Greeneville at highway speed, and State Route 81 runs south toward Erwin. During festival season, and especially the National Storytelling Festival weekend, downtown streets fill with visitors who do not know the roads.
Where your case is filed
Jonesborough is the Washington County seat. Washington County is part of Tennessee’s First Judicial District, and a Washington County wreck case is usually filed in Washington County Circuit Court.
Hit head-on on Carroll Creek Road. $1,000,000.
Robert’s client was driving on Carroll Creek Road in Washington County when a driver swerving to avoid a police cruiser hit him head-on. The other driver was cited. Robert’s client needed surgery with plates, pins and screws for a broken foot, arm and wrist, followed by spine care.
Robert stacked three insurance policies, $100,000, $300,000 and $600,000, and collected every dollar of all three. The case settled for $1,000,000.
Every case is different. A past result does not guarantee the same outcome in your case.
After the wreck
People hurt in Jonesborough wrecks are usually treated at Johnson City Medical Center or Franklin Woods Community Hospital. Keep every bill, photo and insurance letter. Tennessee generally gives you only one year from the date of the wreck to file a personal injury lawsuit.
Robert handles wrecks on 11E, on the back roads of Washington County, and on I-26 just up the road in Johnson City.
