Car Accidents in Tennessee

Tennessee sees thousands of car accidents each year, many resulting in injuries or even fatalities. Statewide data shows that over 30,000 people are injured in vehicle crashes annually. Contributing factors often include distracted driving, speeding, and impaired driving. Many of these collisions occur on heavily traveled roads, particularly during peak evening hours.

Crashes like this one serve as a reminder of the serious impact a moment on the road can have. Here are some common injuries people often face after a car accident:

• Whiplash and Neck Injuries: These are some of the most frequent injuries in rear-end collisions. Whiplash can lead to long-lasting pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. Even low-speed crashes can cause significant strain on neck muscles and ligaments, sometimes requiring physical therapy for recovery.
• Head Injuries and Concussions: The force of impact can cause a person's head to strike a window, steering wheel, or airbag. These types of injuries may not be visible right away but can lead to serious complications, including memory issues, headaches, and mood changes. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential.
• Back and Spinal Cord Injuries: Injuries to the spine can range from minor sprains to serious damage that impacts mobility. Chronic back pain is a common outcome after a car accident and can interfere with daily life, work, and physical activity.
• Broken Bones: Collisions often result in fractures to arms, legs, ribs, or the pelvis. These injuries typically require emergency care, immobilization, and weeks or months of healing. In more severe cases, surgery may be necessary to repair the damage.
• Soft Tissue Injuries: These include sprains, bruises, and tears in muscles and ligaments. Although they may not show up on X-rays, soft tissue injuries can cause significant discomfort and may need rest, medication, or therapy to heal properly.
