Car Accidents in Tennessee

Every year, thousands of people are hurt in motor vehicle accidents across Tennessee. In many cases, these crashes are caused by drivers who are speeding, distracted, or failing to yield. According to the Tennessee Department of Safety & Homeland Security, there were over 200,000 traffic crashes reported statewide in a recent year, with many leading to serious injuries.

Understanding how crashes happen can help drivers stay alert and avoid potential dangers. Here are some common causes of accidents:

• Distracted Driving: Using a phone, adjusting the radio, or talking to passengers can take a driver's attention away from the road, increasing the risk of a crash.
• Speeding: Driving above the posted speed limit reduces reaction time and increases the severity of collisions.
• Failure to Yield: Many accidents occur at intersections when drivers fail to yield the right-of-way, leading to dangerous T-bone or head-on crashes.
• Impaired Driving: Alcohol and drugs significantly impair a driver's ability to operate a vehicle safely, leading to preventable crashes.
• Weather Conditions: Rain, fog, and ice can make roads slippery and reduce visibility, making it more difficult to stop or maneuver safely.
