Motor Vehicle Accidents on Tennessee Interstates
Tennessee interstates, including I-65, are frequently the sites of motor vehicle accidents due to high traffic volume and a mix of local and long-distance drivers. Areas like the Metrocenter, where multiple highways intersect, are particularly prone to collisions. Common causes of interstate accidents include speeding, lane changes without signaling, and following too closely in congested traffic.
Drivers should always remain vigilant while navigating interstates, especially during peak traffic hours. In the event of an accident, moving vehicles to the shoulder, if possible, and calling emergency services immediately are crucial steps to ensure safety. Additionally, documenting the scene through photos and witness statements can aid in resolving insurance claims and other legal matters.
Victims of accidents caused by another party’s negligence may be entitled to seek compensation for their injuries, lost wages, and property damage. Consulting with a legal professional familiar with Tennessee’s traffic laws can help individuals navigate the process and protect their rights.
