Interstate Accidents in Tennessee
Interstate 24 is one of Tennessee’s busiest highways, connecting major cities and serving as a critical route for both commuters and commercial traffic. Due to the high-speed nature of interstates, crashes on I-24 often result in severe injuries and major disruptions.
According to the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT), highway accidents commonly occur due to speeding, distracted driving, or sudden lane changes. Additionally, heavy congestion during peak hours can increase the likelihood of multi-vehicle collisions.
Victims injured in highway crashes often face medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and financial burdens due to time away from work. When accidents are caused by reckless or negligent driving, injured individuals may have legal options to pursue compensation for their losses. Consulting with a legal professional can help victims understand their rights and seek fair recovery.
