Injured in a car accident in Nashville or Davidson County? At GriffithLaw, our experienced Nashville car accident attorneys are here to help you navigate the legal process with confidence. We know how stressful life becomes after a serious crash — unexpected medical bills, time away from work, and pressure from insurance companies can be overwhelming. You don’t have to go through this alone. Call us at 615-823-8233 or fill out our online contact form, and a member of our team will be in touch right away.

Types of Car Accidents Cases our Nashville Car Accident Lawyers Handle

At GriffithLaw, we represent victims of all types of motor vehicle crashes throughout Nashville and Davidson County. Our team has deep experience handling a wide range of accident cases, including:

Rear-End Accidents

These are especially common in Nashville’s congested traffic, often caused by drivers who are texting, speeding, or following too closely during rush hour on roads like I-24 or Broadway.

Intersection & Side-Impact Collisions

Also known as T-bone crashes, these happen frequently at busy intersections when drivers run red lights or ignore stop signs — especially in high-traffic areas like Gallatin Pike, Nolensville Pike, or near downtown.

Commercial Vehicle Crashes

From delivery trucks to fleet vans, commercial vehicles are everywhere in the city. Accidents involving these vehicles often result in serious injuries and involve complex insurance policies.

Rideshare-Related Crashes (Uber/Lyft)

Whether you were a passenger, driver, or struck by a rideshare vehicle, we help navigate the unique insurance coverage that applies in Uber and Lyft accident claims in Nashville.

Hit-and-Run Incidents

If the at-fault driver fled the scene, we can help you file an uninsured motorist claim and pursue other legal options to recover damages.

Victims often endure serious injuries, including:

Important Steps to Take After a Nashville Car Accident

The actions you take immediately following a car accident in Nashville, Tennessee can significantly influence your ability to secure fair compensation. To protect your rights and ensure a smoother recovery process, consider these important steps:

Seek Medical Attention IMMEDIATELY

Seeing a doctor or going to the emergency room is the best way to get appropriate treatment for car accident injuries. It also provides documentation of the accident and how bad your injuries are.

Take as Many Pictures as Possible

Especially the car that hit you.  Insurance companies later do not like to share that information voluntarily.

Don’t Agree to a Settlement or Give a Statement

Sometimes, insurance companies like State Farm, Farmers, and Allstate will immediately make a settlement offer or start asking you to sign forms and give statements. If you don’t understand your rights and haven’t yet spoken to an attorney of your own, avoid giving a statement or accepting a settlement.

Keep Good Records

The more you document, the better prepared you will be to succeed. Get names, numbers, and photographs at the scene. Get a copy of the police report. Write down the names of any doctors you see. Keep pill bottles from any medication you are prescribed. Keep a journal with information about your recovery. All these little things can go a long way toward helping you win your case.

Be Careful What You Say About Your Car Accident

Even if it seems obvious that you are seriously hurt, the words you say to an adjuster, a company representative, the other driver, or even on social media can be twisted and used against you. Insurance companies have even taken seemingly irrelevant Facebook posts or family event photos to downplay victims’ claims. They have blamed people for having a “new accident” just for sneezing or lifting groceries or a bag of dog food. Be mindful of what you share with the insurance adjuster. Remember, he works for the insurance company and looks for any reason to reduce or deny your claim.
