Car Accidents in Tennessee
Tennessee experiences a significant number of vehicle accidents each year, particularly on major roadways like Interstate 65. According to the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT), high-speed corridors such as I-65 see frequent injury-related crashes, particularly near major interchanges.
Many factors contribute to crashes in Tennessee. Driver fatigue is a major issue, especially during early morning hours when many motorists may still be drowsy. Speeding and reckless driving also play a role, as higher speeds increase the likelihood of severe injuries in a collision. Distracted driving, including texting or using a phone while behind the wheel, is another leading cause of crashes on Tennessee highways. Additionally, inclement weather and poor road conditions can make driving dangerous, particularly on high-traffic interstates like I-65.
Injury-related accidents often result in serious financial and physical burdens for those involved. Medical expenses, lost wages, and long-term rehabilitation costs can create challenges for victims and their families. Those injured in an accident caused by a negligent driver may have the right to pursue legal action to seek compensation for their losses. Consulting with a legal professional can help victims understand their options and take steps toward financial recovery.
