Tri-Cities Car Accident Attorneys
Getting behind the wheel and hitting the road is inherently dangerous, no matter where you live in Tennessee. However, the Tri-Cities region is a major thoroughfare for trucking and shipping companies, which makes the region a hotbed for motor vehicle collisions, especially those involving large tractor-trailers. Preventing an accident from happening is nearly impossible, but you can find help holding the responsible people accountable.
For more than 100 years, our team at Hunter, Smith & Davis, LLP, has been rooted in the local Kingsport community and has consistently stood tall for the rights of those injured by negligent, speeding, or distracted drivers. Our tenacity and track record of success speaks for themselves, as we routinely go the extra mile to support the injured.
How Is Tennessee Making Roadways Safe?
Driving daily on the congested major interstates and highways in the Tri-Cities area is a risk many Tennessee motorists have no choice but to take. In fact, in 2022 and 2023 combined, 779 reported crashes and nine traffic fatalities occurred in Johnson City alone.
Fortunately, the Johnson City Police Department has outlined a new initiative, A Safer 26 in ’24, designed to curb motor vehicle collisions on Interstates 26 and 81 as well as highways 11W, 19 and 321. This campaign will result in an influx of law enforcement officials on major highways and interstates looking out for drivers exhibiting dangerous behaviors, such as speeding or distracted driving.
