Car Accidents in Tennessee

Tennessee experiences thousands of motor vehicle crashes each year, many of which result in injuries or fatalities. Highways and major roadways are common sites for collisions, especially in areas with heavy traffic flow. Weather conditions, driver behavior, and road design all contribute to the risk of accidents across the state.

Understanding the leading causes of car accidents can help drivers stay vigilant and reduce risks. Some common factors include:

• Speeding and Reckless Driving – Excessive speed makes it difficult for drivers to react to sudden changes on the road, increasing the likelihood of crashes and severe injuries.
• Distracted Driving—Using a cell phone, eating, or engaging in other distractions while driving can lead to dangerous collisions. Even a moment of inattention can result in a serious crash.
• Following Too Closely – Tailgating reduces a driver's ability to stop in time, making rear-end collisions more likely, especially in heavy traffic.
• Failure to Yield – Many crashes occur when drivers fail to yield the right-of-way at intersections, merge improperly, or disregard traffic signals.
• Impaired Driving – Alcohol or drug use significantly affects reaction time and judgment, leading to dangerous roadway situations.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a motor vehicle accident, seeking legal help can be crucial to recovering damages for medical expenses, lost wages, and more.
