Car Accidents in Tennessee

Tennessee sees thousands of car accidents each year, and many of them involve injury. In 2023, over 31,000 crashes involving injuries were reported statewide. Urban areas like Chattanooga and its surrounding communities—including Hixson—see a notable share of these incidents, often occurring during peak commuting hours when roads are the busiest.

When someone is involved in a car crash, the effects can ripple through every part of life. Here's a look at some of the common consequences drivers may face after a Tennessee crash:

• Neck and Back Injuries
  Rear-end and side-impact crashes often lead to injuries like whiplash, herniated discs, or spinal trauma. Some symptoms appear days after the crash, which is why medical attention is critical even if injuries seem minor at first.
• Soft Tissue Injuries
  Strains, sprains, and bruising are among the most reported injuries in collisions. While not always life-threatening, these injuries can limit movement, require physical therapy, and affect a person's ability to work.
• Psychological Impact
  Accidents often have emotional effects that last long after physical injuries heal. Anxiety, insomnia, or even post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may occur, particularly in those who experience high-impact crashes.
• Financial Strain
  Unexpected medical bills, time off work, and car repairs can create lasting financial stress. Insurance may not cover all costs, especially if the fault is disputed or if injuries require long-term care.
