Car Accidents in Tennessee

Traffic accidents occur daily across Tennessee, leading to injuries and property damage for those involved. Many of these crashes result from common causes such as driver inattention, failure to yield, or hazardous road conditions. Intersections, like Tunnel Boulevard and Shallowford Road, are frequent sites for collisions due to high traffic volumes and multiple crossing points.

Here are some key risk factors for intersection accidents:

• Failure to Yield: Many crashes happen when drivers do not yield the right-of-way at stop signs or traffic signals, leading to dangerous side-impact collisions.
• Distracted Driving: Texting, phone use, and other distractions reduce reaction time, increasing the likelihood of running a red light or missing a stop sign.
• Speeding: Approaching an intersection too fast can make it difficult to stop in time, resulting in rear-end or broadside crashes.
• Poor Visibility: Limited sightlines due to buildings, parked cars, or weather conditions can contribute to intersection accidents.
