Intersection Collisions in Knoxville, TN

Studies show that approximately 73% of road traffic accidents that result in a fatality or serious injury happen at intersections! Intersection collisions account for a significant portion of accidents due to a number of different risk factors, including left turns and U-turns at intersections, commercial traffic in city areas, and higher-speed traffic and multi-lane intersections.

As a car accident lawyer in Knoxville, TN, we have seen that intersection collisions are particularly dangerous due to high impacts, sudden stops, and the prevalence of front or side impacts. Common injuries sustained in this type of collision can range from minor to life-threatening and may be affected by factors such as the speed of impact, air bag deployment, and whether or not seatbelts are in use. Some of the most common injuries include the following:

  • Whiplash & Neck Injuries - Rear-end impacts often result in neck injuries, especially whiplash. Symptoms include neck pain, headaches, and limited mobility.
  • Head Injuries - Concussions and more severe traumatic brain injuries can be caused by the head hitting the steering wheel, window, or dashboard. Even the most minor collisions can cause a TBI.
  • Chest & Rib Injury - Airbags can save your life in a car accident, but they are also one of the biggest culprits when it comes to chest and rib injuries!
  • Spinal Injury - Intersection collisions can often involve a T-bone impact, which comes with an elevated risk of spinal injuries.
  • Cuts & Bruises - Due to the high impact of most intersection collisions, it is very common for drivers and passengers to suffer from a range of cuts and bruises.
