Car Accident Attorney | Nashville TN
After a car accident, never admit guilt by saying sorry. Don't be apologetic or sign anything at the scene or soon after without talking to an experience car accident lawyer. Never give an oral recorded statement to an insurance company without first getting a car accident attorney on your side. It is their job to minimize the payment the insurance company has to make.

Bonnaroo 2017 is Here, Know Tennessee's Public Intoxication Laws
The attorneys at Shipman & Crim love the Bonnaroo festival season just as much as the next guy. We know sometimes things can get a little out of hand. Bonnaroo is here, and kicks off on Thursday, June 8, 2017. 
This is a good time to revisit Tennessee public intoxication laws. Although the offense sounds self-explanatory, there are actual elements to the offense and intoxication in public are not the only elements.
This is a good time to revisit Tennessee public intoxication laws. Although the offense sounds self-explanatory, there are actual elements to the offense and intoxication in public are not the only elements.
Tennessee law on public intoxication is found at Tennessee Code Annotated 39-17-310 and states the following:
A person commits the offense of public intoxication who appears in a public place under the influence of a controlled substance, controlled substance analogue or any other intoxicating substance to the degree that:
(1) The offender may be endangered;
(2) There is endangerment to other persons or property; or
(3) The offender unreasonably annoys people in the vicinity.
A violation of this section is a Class C misdemeanor. A class "C" misdemeanor in Tennessee carries a maximum punishment of 30 days incarceration and a $50 fine.
The law certainly leaves a degree of discretion to law enforcement in deciding whether you fall into one of those categories, however they must provide a factual basis to support their belief. It is important to note that public intoxication includes more than just alcohol - it applies to any substance which can impair you. Public place would also include events which require a ticket, such a Bonnaroo.
Enjoy Bonnaroo, be smart, have fun and feel free to contact Shipman & Crim, Tennessee criminal defense attorneys at 615-829-8259 or 931-303-0421 if you find yourself in trouble.

They often wonder who will pay their medical bills and how they will support their families while they recover.

What damages are recoverable in an automobile accident cases?
Tennessee law categorizes the types of damages available to individuals who have been injured in a car or truck accident. Every case is unique, but most car accident cases will include one or more of the following categories of damages:
- Medical Expenses – This category consists of your bills and expenses arising out of treatment for injuries incurred in the wreck.
- Lost Income / Lost Earning Capacity – Tennessee law allows injured plaintiffs to recover their lost income and earning capacity not only for time they were previously out of work, but also for any future periods of time where it’s reasonably certain they will remain out of work due to injuries.
- Property Damage – The most obvious and prevalent type of damages in car accident cases. You’ve been in a wreck and your vehicle has been damaged. In most cases you’re entitled not only to the cost of repairs, but also to the loss in value of your vehicle.
- Physical Pain and Suffering – These damages serve to compensate you for the physical pain and suffering incurred as a result of the wreck, both past and future. Burns, paralysis, ongoing back pain, and migraines are just a few examples of injuries that support a claim for physical pain and suffering.
- Emotional Pain and Suffering – This category of damages serves to compensate you for the emotional toll the consequences of a car wreck can take. It is particularly relevant in cases where there’s been death or disfigurement.
- Loss of Consortium – This category of damages compensates the spouse or family members of the person who has been injured or killed.
