Interstate Accidents in Tennessee
Crashes on major highways like I-24 East are a common occurrence in Tennessee, particularly during evening hours when traffic is dense and visibility begins to decrease. High-speed travel combined with heavy traffic flow often increases the risk of multi-vehicle collisions, especially in congested areas like the stretch between Briley Parkway and Harding Place.
According to the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT), interstates and highways in the state account for a significant percentage of injury-related accidents. Factors contributing to these crashes include speeding, sudden lane changes, distracted driving, and congested traffic conditions.
Victims of interstate crashes may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages if another party’s negligence contributed to the accident. Navigating insurance claims, especially in multi-vehicle incidents, can be challenging, and legal guidance is often essential to ensure fair treatment and appropriate compensation.
