Driving in the left-turn lane is illegal in Tennessee

Left-turn lanes have a very specific purpose, which is to remove traffic from the main travel lanes while cars wait to turn left. In some cases, they have to stop at light-controlled intersections and either wait for a green arrow or wait until traffic is clear to turn. In other cases, the left-hand turn lane may just split up what would otherwise be a two-lane road, and turns can be made at any point -- such as a person turning into their own driveway.

Drowsy driving is more than just not sleeping enough

Much of the time, drowsy driving happens because a driver simply did not get enough sleep before they got behind the wheel. Maybe it's a college student who stayed up until 2:00 a.m. the night before an 8:00 a.m. class. Maybe it's a truck driver who had to get up early to pick up a shipment on time. It happens in a lot of different ways.

1 person dead after accident in Tennessee

Car accidents are one of the leading causes of accidental death every year in the United States, and a recent wreck in Tennessee showed how they continue to be a problem despite modern safety advancements. It is important for all drivers to be aware of the risk whenever they get behind the wheel.

How much money can you receive for your car accident case?

Right off the bat, most personal injury plaintiffs want to know how much they're going to receive for their car accident lawsuit. This is understandable. We're all human after all, and we have a lot of different financial obligations. If you're suffering from injuries after an accident, you have even more financial obligations related to medical bills and you might not be able to work, so your income has vanished.

Compensable damages related to medical expenses

Most people can't afford to pay for medical care without the assistance of a good insurance policy to pay for the lion's share of the costs. This can be a serious problem for anyone who isn't lucky enough to have medical insurance – and that's why the successful pursuit of a personal injury claim after an injurious car accident is particularly important for the uninsured.

Make sure you didn't contribute to the car accident that hurt you

If we here in Tennessee can count on one thing during the holiday season, it is this: More people are out driving to shopping centers and to visit family. Many of these people are in a big hurry. When you put these things together, you have the perfect environment for car accidents.
