Car Accidents in Tennessee

Tennessee sees thousands of motor vehicle crashes each year, many of which result in injuries. The Tennessee Department of Safety reports that thousands of crashes occur annually on interstates like I-24 and I-75 due to factors such as speeding, distracted driving, and traffic congestion. These accidents often lead to severe injuries, property damage, and significant delays.

Understanding the most common causes of highway accidents can help drivers stay alert:

• Distracted Driving: Taking attention away from the road, whether by using a phone, adjusting the radio, or talking to passengers, increases the risk of accidents.
• Following Too Closely: Tailgating reduces reaction time and can lead to rear-end collisions, especially in heavy traffic or sudden slowdowns.
• Unsafe Lane Changes: Failing to check blind spots or signal before switching lanes can cause serious side-impact crashes.
• Speeding: Driving over the speed limit reduces reaction time and increases the force of impact in a collision.
