Does anyone know Tennessee law?

Question

I was in a accident, 4 cars involved, the car in front of me says I hit them first which is not true, a 18 wheeler hit me from behind and caused me to hit the car in front of me and the car in front of me hit a 18 wheeler. Okay my question is what would be a lawyers reason for dropping my case? (They say they have a statement from the car in front of me stating I hit that car first.) Is this a viable reason, I thought a lawyer was to prove who is right? not just by your word against their word.

Answer 1

But in your case, know matter what the circumstances were, if you hit someone from behind, you be also be considered at fault.

The reason be is short and simple. Had you not have been that close to the vehicle, then you would not be at fault.

Stupid as this sounds, that would be the rational the courts would use.

In other words, they(the lawyers) see it that "you" were to close in the first place, so why even get involved when it will be a moot point.

Answer 2

I got with dude's first answer too, but more so because it would really be too hard for the lawyer to defend you against three other people all with a different story.

Answer 3

The main reasons that lawyers don't take cases like this and others is because no one was seriously injured and it is not worth their time, they are just bottom feeders looking for a quick buck.
