Car Accidents in Tennessee

Motor vehicle accidents in Tennessee result in thousands of injuries each year. In 2023, the Tennessee Department of Safety & Homeland Security reported more than 200,000 crashes statewide, with many causing injuries or fatalities. High-traffic areas and residential roads alike see collisions that leave victims facing medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional distress.

While every accident is unique, certain risk factors contribute to many crashes:

• Speeding: Exceeding the speed limit increases the severity of crashes, reducing reaction times and making collisions more dangerous.
• Distracted Driving: Cell phone use, eating, or adjusting in-car settings can divert attention from the road, leading to avoidable crashes.
• Failure to Yield: Many accidents occur at intersections where drivers fail to yield the right-of-way, leading to dangerous side-impact or head-on collisions.
• Weather Conditions: Rain, fog, or icy roads can create hazardous conditions, increasing the likelihood of crashes when drivers do not adjust accordingly.

After an accident, injured victims often face medical costs, vehicle repairs, and other unexpected challenges. Seeking legal guidance can help ensure that they receive the compensation they deserve.
