Car Accidents in Tennessee

Each year, thousands of traffic accidents occur on Tennessee roadways, leaving many drivers and passengers injured. Areas with high traffic flow, like Kingsport, often see collisions due to speeding, distracted driving, and failure to yield. These crashes can lead to serious injuries that require medical treatment and rehabilitation.

Here are some of the most common causes of accidents in Tennessee:

• Distracted Driving – Texting, eating, or adjusting a GPS while driving can take a motorist's attention away from the road, increasing the risk of a crash.
• Speeding – Driving above the speed limit reduces reaction time and increases the severity of collisions.
• Impaired Driving – Alcohol and drug use remain leading factors in serious and fatal crashes across the state.
• Failure to Yield – Many accidents occur when drivers fail to yield the right of way at intersections or merging lanes.
• Weather Conditions – Rain, fog, and icy roads contribute to loss of control and reduced visibility, making accidents more likely.
