Chattanooga Car Accident Lawyers Fighting for Injured Tennessee Drivers

Wettermark Keith has a downtown Chattanooga office and has recovered compensation in more than 50,000 personal injury cases.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a car accident anywhere in the Chattanooga metro – from Hixson to East Ridge, Red Bank to Ooltewah, Brainerd to Collegedale – our attorneys are ready to hear your story. Call us today or complete the form to start your free case review.

Chattanooga's highways and intersections are among the most dangerous in Tennessee – and insurance companies move fast to protect themselves.

A distracted driver drifts into your lane on I-24 as you head home through Brainerd. A tractor-trailer jackknifes during a downpour on I-75 near Hamilton Place. An impaired driver runs a red light at a Hwy 153 intersection, t-boning your vehicle on the way to work.

Tennessee law puts a one-year clock on your claim.

The state enforces one of the shortest personal-injury filing windows in the country – the statute of limitations for most car accident claims is just one year from the date of the crash under T.C.A. § 28-3-104. Tennessee's modified comparative fault rule also bars any recovery if you are found 50% or more at fault. Insurance adjusters know both rules, and they routinely call injured drivers within days hoping for a recorded statement that shifts blame before the clock runs out.

How our Chattanooga attorneys build your case.

At Wettermark Keith, we take those calls so you don't have to. Our team will:

Investigate the crash scene and preserve evidence before it disappears.
Pull police reports from Hamilton County and the Tennessee Highway Patrol.
Work with accident reconstructionists when the crash facts are disputed.
Identify every potentially liable party – driver, employer, insurer, and any commercial defendant.
Build a case designed to beat Tennessee's 50% comparative-fault bar.

We handle claims for medical bills, lost wages, vehicle damage, pain and suffering, and – in cases involving drunk, distracted, or commercial drivers – punitive damages.

Consultations are always free – and you won't pay us anything until we've won your case.

COMMON CHATTANOOGA CAR ACCIDENT INJURIES

Car accidents can result in a wide range of injuries, from minor cuts and bruises to life-altering trauma. If you've been in a collision, it's important to seek medical attention immediately — even if you feel fine. Adrenaline can mask pain, and some injuries don't make themselves known for days or even weeks. Prompt medical evaluation protects your health and strengthens your claim by creating a documented record of what happened. Some of the most common car accident injuries we see include:

Whiplash – neck strain caused by the sudden back-and-forth motion of a collision, often leading to lasting pain and stiffness.
Broken Bones – fractures to arms, legs, ribs, or the pelvis that frequently require surgery and a long recovery.
Head Injuries – concussions, skull fractures, and traumatic brain injuries that can cause lasting cognitive and emotional effects.
Back and Neck Injuries – herniated discs, nerve damage, and chronic pain that can limit mobility and quality of life.
Internal Injuries – damage to organs such as the liver, spleen, or lungs that may not show symptoms immediately but can be life-threatening.
Lacerations – deep cuts from broken glass or shattered metal that may require stitches or surgery and can leave permanent scarring.
Contusions – bruises from impact with the steering wheel, dashboard, or seatbelt that can mask deeper tissue damage underneath.
Psychological Trauma – anxiety, PTSD, and depression that often follow serious crashes and can be just as disabling as physical injuries.
