Patterson Bray PLLC Issues Critical Safety Warning for I-65 Summer Travel Season

Patterson Bray PLLC, a leading Brentwood-based personal injury firm, is warning motorists about the significant increase in accident risks on Interstate 65 during the summer months. As vacation traffic, construction zones, and commercial trucking volume converge on this vital Tennessee artery, the firm emphasizes that the period between Memorial Day and Labor Day requires heightened driver vigilance to prevent serious collisions and multi-vehicle pileups.

Managing Partner Chris Patterson notes that a dangerous combination of out-of-town drivers, distracted motorists, and unpredictable road conditions creates a perfect storm for accidents. Factors such as GPS reliance, fatigue, and stop-and-go construction traffic significantly elevate the probability of rear-end crashes. For commuters and travelers alike, understanding these risks is essential for navigating the corridor safely throughout the peak summer season.

If a collision occurs, victims must navigate Tennessee's modified comparative fault rules and strict one-year statute of limitations. The attorneys at Patterson Bray PLLC are dedicated to protecting the rights of those injured in motor vehicle accidents. By handling the complexities of insurance claims and legal filings, the firm allows clients to prioritize their physical recovery while seeking the compensation necessary to cover medical expenses and lost wages.
