TENNESSEE AUTO INSURANCE GUIDE

Tennessee UM/UIM Anti-Stacking & Multiple Insurance Policies

Tennessee’s UM/UIM statute permits policy provisions that limit aggregation in circumstances authorized by law. Available recovery therefore requires policy-by-policy analysis rather than simply adding every stated UM/UIM limit.

  • Identify every potentially applicable UM/UIM policy and vehicle.
  • Review each policy’s limit-of-liability, other-insurance and anti-stacking provisions against Tenn. Code § 56-7-1201.
  • Determine insured status and policy priority before calculating available limits.
  • Account for statutory treatment of amounts available from the at-fault driver’s liability coverage.
