Tennessee Request for Settlement Approval is a legal document that must be filed with the Tennessee Court of Claims if an injured party wishes to settle a personal injury claim against the state of Tennessee. This document outlines the details of the settlement and must be approved by the court before any money can be paid out. There are two types of Tennessee Request for Settlement Approval: formal requests and informal requests. Formal requests require the parties involved to appear in court and present testimony and documentation to support the request, while informal requests require only written documentation. Both types of requests must show that the settlement is fair and reasonable for both parties and in the best interests of the state of Tennessee.
