Tennessee Interstate Accidents

Injured in an Interstate Accident in Tennessee?

Interstate highways are built for speed, but when drivers are careless, the results can be catastrophic. If you’ve been hurt in a crash on I-40, I-65, I-24, or any other major highway in Tennessee, you need legal support you can trust. At The Higgins Firm, our experienced personal injury attorneys represent victims of interstate accidents throughout the state. We’re here to help you recover the compensation you deserve.

Why Interstate Accidents Are So Dangerous

Interstate accidents often result in more severe injuries than crashes on local roads — and with good reason. Vehicles are traveling at high speeds, traffic is dense, and there’s little room for error. Add in aggressive driving, distracted motorists, or large commercial trucks, and the danger increases significantly.

Common causes of interstate collisions in Tennessee include:

• Speeding — Driving above the posted limit or too fast for traffic or weather conditions
• Distracted driving — Texting, GPS use, or eating while behind the wheel
• Fatigue — Especially among long-haul truck drivers or late-night drivers
• Tailgating — Following too closely at high speeds
• Improper lane changes — Failing to signal or check blind spots
• Commercial vehicle crashes — Involving 18-wheelers and delivery trucks

Whether your accident involved a passenger car, motorcycle, or semi-truck, we know how to hold negligent drivers and companies accountable for the harm they cause.

Where Do Interstate Accidents Happen Most Often?

Tennessee’s interstate system sees heavy traffic year-round. Car Accidents can happen anywhere, but certain areas are especially dangerous due to congestion, construction, or high volumes of out-of-state drivers.

We frequently handle cases on the following roadways:

• I-40 — A major east-west corridor connecting Memphis, Nashville, and Knoxville
• I-24 — A common route between Chattanooga and Nashville with sharp curves and traffic bottlenecks
• I-65 — A busy north-south route frequently used by commercial trucks and commuters
• I-75 — A key route near the eastern part of the state, connecting to Kentucky and Georgia

No matter where your accident happened, our team will investigate the scene, gather evidence, and build a strong case on your behalf.

Understanding Liability in Tennessee Interstate Accidents

In Tennessee, the party who caused the accident is generally responsible for the damages. But determining fault on the interstate isn’t always straightforward — especially when multiple vehicles are involved or a commercial truck is to blame.

Our legal team works quickly to uncover all sources of liability, which may include:

• Negligent drivers (speeding, distracted, or impaired)
• Trucking companies that failed to maintain vehicles or enforce rest breaks
• Government entities responsible for poor road design or inadequate signage
• Vehicle manufacturers if a mechanical failure contributed to the crash

We’ll also deal directly with the insurance companies, so you don’t have to. Whether it’s your own provider or a third-party insurer, we won’t let them lowball your claim.
