Car Accidents in Tennessee
Car accidents are a frequent occurrence in Tennessee, particularly on major interstates like I-24, where high speeds, heavy traffic, and merging vehicles increase the risk of collisions. According to the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security (TDSHS), thousands of crashes occur on the state’s highways each year, many of which result in injuries or fatalities.
One of the leading causes of highway accidents is distracted driving, where motorists become preoccupied with cell phones, in-car entertainment systems, or other distractions. Speeding is another significant factor, as high speeds reduce reaction times and increase the severity of crashes. Additionally, lane-changing accidents are common on I-24, especially in high-traffic zones like Antioch, where drivers frequently merge and switch lanes.
For those injured in motor vehicle accidents, seeking medical attention and understanding legal rights are crucial steps toward recovery. Victims may be eligible for compensation to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages related to the crash.
