If you have liability, which may not be known or determined at this time, then the liability applies to all places where an accident occurred: public or private lands. Of course, the factst concerning the accident, and thus the question of liability, may be effected by where the accident occurred (ie. a lined and marked street vs. an unmarked pasture or field). Also, as to private lands, there are some statutes in Tennessee which might effect the question of your liability in a recreational setting. I would need to know more about the facts of your case before I could give a more complete opinion.
