Tennessee Auto and Truck Accidents Caused By Drivers Leaving Parking Lots

As car and truck accident attorneys serving people in Nashville and across Tennessee, we receive many calls every year from people who were injured when another driver pulled out of a parking lot and collided with the caller’s car on a public street.

Tennessee law has very strict rules concerning the responsibilities of a person who leaves a private parking lot and pulls into a public street.  The law provides that the driver leaving a parking lot must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and all vehicles approaching on the roadway.  The failure to do so means that the driver is negligent as a matter of law and is legally responsible for harm caused by the error.  This Legal Guide discusses the  damages that may be recovered in Tennessee auto and truck accident cases.
