Interstate Accidents in Tennessee
Tennessee’s interstate highways, including I-65, are critical transportation routes but are also sites of frequent accidents. High speeds, congestion, and merging traffic contribute to collisions, particularly near major exits such as Old Hickory Blvd in Brentwood. In 2023, the state reported a significant number of crashes on interstates, many of which resulted in injuries.
Common factors in interstate accidents include distracted driving, speeding, and following too closely. State and local officials continue to advocate for traffic safety initiatives to reduce crash rates and improve road conditions. Drivers are urged to stay alert and practice safe driving behaviors.
Victims of interstate accidents often face physical, emotional, and financial challenges. Tennessee law provides avenues for those injured in accidents to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages caused by negligence. Victims must understand their rights and take appropriate steps to protect them.
