Car Accident Cases in Perry County

A large part of our practice is motor vehicle accidents including motorcycle accidents, tractor-trailer wrecks, bus accidents, car crashes, car vs. pedestrian cases and car v. bicycle cases.

While most of us do it everyday, driving is dangerous. Tennessee has about 4.5 million licensed drivers and thousands of miles of roadways. We have a number of interstates that run through our State, which brings additional out-of-state drivers and truckers. Unfortunately, serious accidents can happen when drivers choose to engage in unsafe acts. Truckers who drive longer than their permitted hours become fatigued and careless. Teenagers who try to text and drive are distracted. Other drivers speed, drive under the influence or are just plain careless.

The Tennessee Department of Safety collects data on each county's crash statistics. Below are the rankings for Perry County for 2015-2019:

  • Speeding Crash Rate: 91st
  • Young Driver (Ages 15-24) Crash Rate: 90th
  • Senior Driver (Ages 65+) Crash Rate: 94th

Although Perry County's stats have improved in a number of categories since the last data, as you can see, it can still be a very dangerous place to drive. If you have been involved in an automobile accident or any other type of accident, you need a skilled and aggressive advocate on your side so that you can be sure you are getting all the compensation you deserve.
