Knoxville Car Accident Lawyers

Nearly everyone has experienced a motor vehicle accident directly or indirectly. Whether you, a family member, or a friend has suffered in a car accident, you understand the devastating impact it can have. Accident victims can be impacted physically, emotionally, and financially for weeks, months, or years, depending on the situation. 

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), an estimated 29,135 people died in traffic crashes in the U.S. during the first nine months of 2024. 

According to the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security, 886 fatal and serious injury crashes were reported in 2023. Furthermore, the NHTSA reports that 13,524 individuals nationwide died in traffic accidents due to drunk driving. 

At Hodges, Doughty & Carson, PLLC, we understand the stress and uncertainty you can face in the aftermath of such accidents. When a negligent driver causes such injuries, you have the legal right to pursue an accident claim. 

Do not let an insurance adjuster or a well-meaning friend or family member convince you not to consult an attorney. Our Knoxville car accident attorneys can fight to help you pursue maximum compensation for your injury claim. 

Phone Hodges, Doughty & Carson, PLLC at (865) 737-2784 to book your consultation with a Knoxville car accident attorney or reach us on our contact form.

Why Consult an Attorney Before Speaking to the Insurance Company?

The insurance adjuster does not work for you. His job is to protect the insurance company by minimizing the compensation the insurance company must pay you for your damages.

Insurance adjusters may try to collect evidence that could harm your accident claim. For example, the insurance adjuster may ask you to provide a statement and sign a medical release form before the insurance company can pay your claim. 

Providing statements and signing releases without consulting a Knoxville car accident attorney is not in your best interest. The insurance adjuster is seeking information that may be used against you. You have the right to legal counsel and should exercise this right.

Common Causes of Knoxville Car Accidents

Knoxville has several high-risk areas for car accidents. Interstate 40 and Interstate 640 are heavily traveled routes prone to catastrophic car accidents. The number of vehicles that travel on those roads each day, high rates of speed, and the number of commercial trucks that use these interstates make these roads especially dangerous. 

Unfortunately, as the roads throughout Knoxville grow more congested, severe car accidents continue to increase. Even a low-impact collision can result in debilitating injuries. 

Our Knoxville car accident attorneys represent clients who have been injured in a variety of vehicle crashes, including:
