Highway Accidents in Tennessee
Highways such as I-24 in Nashville experience frequent traffic collisions due to high speeds, merging vehicles, and sudden lane changes. Accidents in congested highway areas, especially near major interchanges like the I-440 split and Briley Parkway, pose an increased risk of serious injuries due to the volume of vehicles and fast-moving traffic.
Common causes of highway crashes include driver distraction, aggressive lane changes, tailgating, and fatigue. Even a minor lapse in attention can lead to rear-end collisions, multi-vehicle pileups, or vehicles veering off the road. When accidents occur in high-speed areas, victims may suffer severe injuries, significant vehicle damage, and financial stress due to medical expenses and lost wages.
For individuals involved in highway accidents, seeking medical attention and legal guidance is crucial to understanding their rights and next steps.
