Pedestrian Hurt in Crash on Fort Campbell Blvd in Clarksville, TN

Clarksville, TN (September 25, 2026) – A pedestrian was hurt on Wednesday night, September 23, after being struck by a vehicle on Fort Campbell Boulevard near Eagle Court. 

The wreck happened around 10:24 p.m. in the northbound lanes, according to the Clarksville Police Department.

Emergency units closed the two northbound lanes temporarily while they responded to the scene. The closure affected traffic in the area for a short time.

The pedestrian was taken to a hospital and is listed in stable condition, with injuries described as non-life-threatening. 

The circumstances surrounding the crash remain under review. 

We are thinking of the victim as they continue to recover.

Can a Pedestrian Be Found Partly at Fault in Clarksville, TN?

Yes. Tennessee follows a modified comparative fault rule, which means a pedestrian who is found partly responsible can still recover damages as long as they are not found 50 percent or more at fault. If a pedestrian is 50 percent or more responsible, Tennessee law bars recovery entirely.

Insurance companies and courts look at specific facts to assign fault after a pedestrian is struck, such as whether a crosswalk was marked, whether traffic signals were working, and whether the driver had a clear line of sight. These details can shift the fault percentage significantly, so it is important to gather accurate information as soon as possible.

To fight back insurers trying to assign more blame, many people turn to a pedestrian accident lawyer familiar with Clarksville corridors to help gather crosswalk data, signal timing records, or witness accounts that clarify how fault should be divided under Tennessee law.

How fault gets divided can significantly affect what a pedestrian is able to recover under Tennessee law. At Fox & Farmer, we are open to working with pedestrians who want to understand how comparative fault might apply to their claim.
