According to ABC News Sacramento, a California jury recently awarded 16 million dollars ($16,000,000.00) to a 25-year-old woman struck by a car. Four years ago, the victim was hit by a car when jogging through a crosswalk. The jogger, then performing her medical residency at UC Davis Medical Center, suffered brain damage and permanent disability. At trial, city planners, including a former mayor of Sacramento, testified the crosswalk was unsafe. The jury ultimately felt the city of Sacramento was negligent in creating an unsafe environment for walkers and joggers and believed the city knew the area was dangerous. Since this accident, the city has changed traffic from two-way to one-way and installed a pedestrian-activated signal light.

According to the Sun Herald (MS), a 29-year-old woman, while putting her 4-year-old child into the back seat of her car in a business parking lot, was struck by another car driven by a drunk driver. A 26-year-old driver veered off Pass Road in Gulfport and crashed into the deceased, pinning her between the two cars. The woman died four hours later in surgery. Fortunately, the child was not harmed. The driver was charged with DUI causing death.

According to the New Haven Register, a Connecticut jury recently awarded 14 million dollars ($14,000,000.00) to the victim of a 2005 car accident. Initially, the victim’s car was involved in a crash with a volunteer firefighter. The driver of the victim’s car then sped away, causing the firefighter to turn on his siren and lights and chase after him.  The victim’s lawyer argued the town’s radio dispatcher encouraged the firefighter to chase after the victim at a high speed when speaking to him on radio calls. During the chase, the driver of the victim’s car crashed into a tree. The victim, sitting in the front seat, was thrown from the car and suffered traumatic lifelong injuries. The jury found the town negligent and 90 percent responsible for the crash, awarding the victim the high-end estimate for his lifetime cost of care.

A fuel tanker truck was recently involved in a fiery crash on Interstate 55 in Memphis, Tennessee. According to fire department officials, a Flash Oil Co. Fuel tanker truck and two tractor-trailer trucks collided on I-55 near McLemore. Two of the drivers were transported by ambulance to the Regional Medical Center in Memphis and one driver was transported to Methodist University Hospital, also in Memphis. Fortunately, the tanker truck did not explode, even though approximately 50 to 70 gallons of fuel escaped. More fortunately, all of the drivers were in non-critical condition.
Most drivers involved in truck accidents are not so lucky. Over the years, the lawyers of Nahon, Saharovich, and Trotz (NST) have represented many accident victims in Tennessee, Mississippi, and Arkansas who have been severely injured due to tanker or trucking accidents. If you or a loved one have been involved in car accident involving a fuel tanker or tractor-trailer, call Nahon, Saharovich, and Trotz today at (901) 683-7000 or 1-800-LAW-4004. NST Law has 28 lawyers and a support staff of over 100 dedicated to protecting victims of Tennessee auto accidents.
It is critical for the Team NST lawyer to immediately begin to investigate the accident. In certain traumatic injury cases, the lawyer at Nahon, Saharovich and Trotz will consult with an expert who can help reconstruct the accident. This allows NST to help prove negligence so that an injured victim can recover maximum compensation. Key evidence on the highways of Interstate 24, Interstate 40, Interstate 55, and Interstate 240 can be lost if the investigation is not conducted in a timely fashion.
The rules involving tanker trucks and tractor-trailers are very complex. The truck drivers are often subject to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR), which mandate safety requirements when operating these types of vehicles. For instance, certain regulations control the maximum number of hours that a person can drive a fuel tank or tractor-trailer on the road. In addition, the drivers may be subject to mandatory drug testing after an accident. The lawyers of Nahon, Saharovich and Trotz are familiar with trucking laws to help an injured victim recover compensation. We may consult with experts who can help analyze truck drivers’ logbooks to ensure that it is consistent with the actual number of hours driven.
The injuries sustained by victims of tanker and tractor-trailer crashes are often traumatic. NST will often use its resources to help develop the damages portion of the claim, for example, by retaining an expert to help prove permanent disability. In addition, we may hire a vocational rehabilitation consultant and an economist to help prove lost wages and loss of earnings capacity.

According to the Knoxville News Sentinel, the driver of a recent hit and run accident has surrendered to Knoxville police. In March 2011, an 8-year-old boy was hit by a car after being picked up from school by his grandmother. When getting dropped off after school, he exited the car on the driver’s side and was struck by a speeding Pontiac Grand Prix coming the other way. The driver of the Pontiac pulled over, checked his car for damage, and then drove away. The grandmother pleaded with the driver to call 911, but he did not listen.
