Car Accidents in Tennessee

Tennessee sees a significant number of vehicle accidents each year, with thousands of crashes resulting in injuries. Interstate highways, such as I-75, are often the site of serious collisions due to high speeds and heavy traffic. Reports indicate that distracted driving, speeding, and following too closely are among the leading causes of these crashes.

When accidents happen, several factors can play a role in the severity of injuries and the overall impact on those involved. Here are some common causes of crashes in Tennessee:

• Driver Distraction – Using a phone, adjusting in-car settings, or even talking to passengers can lead to critical lapses in attention. A few seconds of distraction can result in a collision, especially on fast-moving interstates.
• Traffic Congestion – Heavy traffic can contribute to sudden stops and chain-reaction crashes, especially during rush hour. Drivers failing to maintain safe following distances increase the risk of rear-end collisions.
• Weather Conditions – Rain, fog, and icy roads can make driving more hazardous. Reduced visibility and slick roadways contribute to crashes, particularly when drivers do not adjust their speed accordingly.
• Fatigue – Drowsy driving is a serious issue, with some studies showing it can be as dangerous as impaired driving. Long hours on the road without adequate rest increase the risk of mistakes behind the wheel.
