Day on Torts
The Tennessee Claims Commission hears and adjudicates claims alleging that personal injury or wrongful death was caused by the acts or omissions of employees of the State of Tennessee. The Commission also hears worker’s compensation claims asserted by State employees and breach of contract claims when the State is a party to the contract.
The Commission follows the Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure, but has modified the rules in several important respects.
BirdDog Law has created a resource that merges the rules of civil procedure with the modifications set forth by regulation. Thus, those practicing before the Claims Commission can look to one resource to determine the rules of procedure in the Commission.
