Knoxville, TN asked in Traffic Tickets and Car Accidents for Tennessee

Q: Traffic accident placed me at fault but I am not. What will happen and what can I do?

The other driver, northbound exit ramp, failed to yield at off ramp merging with southbound off ramp (I was southbound). The police officer believes that the accident took place past the location than it did (we moved our vehicles to a safe location, forward). The report has no diagram. Location: Alcoa Highway at Cherokee Trail/UT Medical Center Entrance Way.

A: See if there is video.

Be sure your company understands where it is, what happened. Damage to cars may help explain. If you were hurt you want to contact a member of the Tenn. Assn for Justice--they give free consults.
