Traffic Accidents on Tennessee Parkways
Tennessee’s parkways, such as Briley Parkway, are vital for connecting residential and commercial areas but often see heavy traffic, which can contribute to accidents. The stretch between Brick Church Pike and Dickerson Pike is a particularly busy section, increasing the potential for multi-vehicle collisions.
Common causes of such accidents include speeding, distracted driving, and sudden lane changes. Drivers are encouraged to exercise caution, especially during peak hours, to reduce the likelihood of crashes. State transportation authorities continue to implement measures to improve road safety, including enhanced signage and enforcement of traffic laws.
The party at fault for the accident is typically liable for your damages. Determining fault often involves gathering evidence such as police reports, photos of the scene, witness statements, and expert evaluations. In cases of shared fault, some states follow comparative negligence rules, which may reduce your compensation based on your level of responsibility for the accident.
Victims should be aware of their rights when dealing with insurance companies. Insurers often aim to minimize payouts and may offer settlements that do not fully cover your losses. You are not obligated to accept a settlement without review, and you have the right to negotiate or consult an attorney.
