According to the Memphis Commercial Appeal, a 32-year-old man has been arrested for his role in a fatal car accident in Memphis, Tennessee, on August 3, 2011. The crash occurred on Interstate 240 in South Memphis. Memphis police reported the man was driving a Chevrolet Tahoe when he crashed into another vehicle on Interstate 240 near South Parkway. A 4-year-old boy in that SUV was killed and a 15-month-old baby in the SUV was injured. After crashing into the SUV, the man fled the scene, running into two other cars on his way out. Police located the driver later that night and charged him with driving under the influence (“DUI”), reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident, and vehicular assault.
A drunk driving accident can occur anywhere, including Interstate 40, Interstate 240, and Interstate 55 in Shelby County. If you have lost a loved one in a car accident caused by a drunk driver, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, and lost income. At Nahon, Saharovich, and Trotz (“NST Law”), we are aware of the many ways a family member can suffer after losing a loved one. While aggressively pursuing maximum compensation on behalf of clients, we are sympathetic towards their situation and the difficulties they face during this complicated period. To learn more about the Tennessee auto accident attorneys at Nahon, Saharovich, and Trotz, call 901-683-7000 or 1-800-LAW-4004 today.
In a car accident lawsuit, a client may be able to recover compensation from a negligent driver’s insurance company. However, if a defendant driver does not have insurance, NST Law can file an Uninsured Motorist claim for maximum compensation. To help clients recover maximum damages, NST lawyers utilize experts from various fields. If a deceased incurs medical bills between the accident and his death, NST Law can consult with doctors to document those bills. These expenses may include surgeries, X-rays, and medication. A second type of expert NST Law may retain is a vocational economist. This expert can project the lost income the deceased would have earned over the course of his lifetime. In addition, NST Law can retain psychiatric experts to determine the pain, suffering, and emotional distress that surviving family members experience following the tragic accident. Finally, since driving under the influence of alcohol is illegal in Tennessee, your NST lawyer may pursue punitive damages if the defendant driver has been convicted of DUI.
Call Nahon, Saharovich, and Trotz at 901-683-7000 or 1-800-LAW-4004 if you have lost a loved one in a car accident in Memphis. NST Law is the largest plaintiff’s personal injury law firm in Tennessee, representing clients in Knoxville, Jackson, Memphis, and surrounding counties. NST Law has handled fatal car accident cases for two decades and has the knowledge, skill, and experience to properly handle your case.

According to MarketWatch, Protext Mobility, Inc., a developer of mobile phone software and applications, has created DriveAlert, a cell phone application intended to reduce distracted driving. The application, now available for Android phone users, detects when the user is driving and automatically puts the cell phone in “DriveAlert” mode. DriveAlert then blocks incoming phone calls, text messages, and emails and sends an auto-reply message to those who send text messages. In case of an emergency, a driver can override the DriveAlert system to make calls and send messages. DriveAlert’s target audience is drivers under the age of 20 years old, the age group with the highest proportion of distracted drivers involved in fatal car crashes in the United States.
Drivers today have more distractions than ever. Typical distractions include car radios, CD players, and GPS devices. Now, drivers can use cell phones in their cars, which can serve as mobile computers. A driver can be tempted to use his smart phone to make calls, send text messages and emails, surf the Internet, or play a game. When a driver looks down at his cell phone, he is not paying full attention to the road. When a driver is distracted, he is more likely to be involved in a car accident. If you have been injured in a car accident caused by someone who was texting while driving, call the Tennessee auto accident attorneys at Nahon, Saharovich, and Trotz (“NST Law”) at 901-683-7000 or 1-800-LAW-4004.
No matter the severity of your injuries, NST Law can handle your case. Throughout the years, we have represented victims with paraplegia, quadriplegia, broken vertebrae, lost limbs, and brain trauma. To help you recover maximum damages for medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, and permanent disability, your NST lawyer can work to negotiate a pre-trial settlement or file a lawsuit and fight for you in court. NST lawyers have many resources at their disposal to prove your damages and suffering to a jury or judge. For example, NST Law can retain medical experts to document all medical bills incurred because of the car accident, including future physical therapy costs. NST Law can consult with vocational economists to project diminished earning capacity if your injuries prevent you from returning to your position at work. NST Law can also show a jury the crippling effects of a debilitating injury through a day-in-the-life video. Finally, NST Law can retain psychiatric specialists to determine the pain and suffering you experience as a result of the accident.
To speak to a Shelby County car accident attorney at NST Law, call 901-683-7000 or 1-800-LAW-4004 or visit us at www.nstlaw.com.

According to WSMV Nashville, two people died and one person was seriously injured in a four-car crash in Lebanon, Tennessee, on July 29, 2011. The accident occurred around noon near East High Street and Cedar Street. The two deceased victims are a young child and his grandfather. Another passenger in their car suffered serious injuries and was airlifted to Vanderbilt Hospital. Police say the woman who caused the accident is believed to have been under the influence of alcohol at the time of the crash. An investigation is underway and charges against the woman are pending, according to local police.
Family members want the driver held responsible and accountable for her actions. The deceased child’s mother said she hopes this tragic crash will remind everyone about the dangers of drunken driving. If you have lost a loved one in a drunk driving car accident, call the Tennessee personal injury attorneys at Nahon, Saharovich, and Trotz (“NST Law”) at 901-683-7000 or 1-800-LAW-4004. You may have a claim for wrongful death and could be entitled to recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. NST Law offers prospective clients a free initial consultation on their case to discuss the accident and ask questions about a typical personal injury lawsuit or car accident case.
NST Law has handled tragic car accident cases in Shelby County for over twenty years. Our attorneys are well versed with Tennessee driving laws and know how to prove a defendant driver violated one at the time of the crash. For instance, Tennessee law prohibits driving under the influence of alcohol (“DUI”). NST Law can hire a toxicologist to prove a defendant driver’s blood alcohol content was above the legal limit at the time of the crash. A driver that violates Tennessee law can be considered negligent, and a client is more likely to recover maximum compensation once negligence can be proven.
To help clients recover maximum damages, NST Law utilizes the knowledge of various experts. Medical experts can document medical bills incurred between the crash and deceased’s death, including costs for surgeries and hospital visits. Vocational economists can be retained by NST Law to compute the projected income the deceased would have earned throughout the rest of his life. Psychiatric experts can evaluate a client’s mental health and determine the pain and suffering a client experienced as a result of losing a loved one in a tragic car accident. NST Law can also apply knowledge of Tennessee law to pursue punitive damages against a defendant driver convicted of DUI. In a car accident lawsuit, punitive damages may be awarded against a driver to deter members of the public from drinking and driving.

According to the Memphis Commercial Appeal, a Texas truck driver has been issued a citation by Memphis police for his role in a recent crash in Memphis, Tennessee. On July 24, 2011, the trucker was driving a tractor-trailer on Interstate 55 near Crump Avenue when he crashed into a side railing. The truck caught on fire and burned on the interstate, holding up traffic. Police determined the driver was traveling over the 55 miles per hour speed limit at the time of the accident.

Key evidence on the highways of Interstate 40, Interstate 55, and Interstate 240 can be lost if the investigation is not conducted in a timely fashion.
NST lawyers have knowledge of the complex rules involving commercial trucks and tractor-trailers. Truck drivers are often subject to Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, which mandate safety requirements when operating these types of vehicles. For example, drivers are only allowed to be on duty for a certain number of hours each day. In addition, truck drivers may be subject to mandatory drug testing after an accident. NST lawyers have experience interpreting trucking laws to help an injured victim recover maximum compensation. Your NST lawyer may consult with experts who can help analyze truck drivers’ logbooks to ensure that they are consistent with the actual number of hours driven. By proving a trucker violated a trucking regulation at the time of the accident, your NST lawyer can seek maximum compensation from that trucker’s insurance company. In a trucking accident lawsuit, NST lawyers can pursue damages for medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, and permanent disability. To prove these damages, your NST lawyer can consult with medical experts, physical rehabilitation experts, vocational economists, and psychiatric experts.

According to WMC Memphis, a van carrying 11 people from a church group crashed off Interstate 40 in Humphreys County, Tennessee, on July 28, 2011. The van was traveling to Maury County, Tennessee, from a church “lock-in” in Munford, Tennessee. One person died in the crash, and three children were transported by helicopter to a children’s hospital at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville. The children are listed in critical condition. A Tennessee Highway Patrol official reported other passengers were injured as well. The cause of the crash is under investigation.

A Memphis auto accident attorney from NST Law may visit the scene of the accident or hire an accident reconstruction expert to reconstruct the crash to determine a driver’s negligence. In this case, NST lawyers may contact the Tennessee Highway Patrol to find out exactly how the accident occurred. We may interview witnesses to help bolster our client’s theory of liability.

According to the Knoxville News Sentinel, Great Smoky Mountains National Park rangers recently arrested seven drivers for driving under the influence (“DUI”) during a two-week effort to increase awareness of the dangers of driving while intoxicated. In addition to arresting drivers for DUI, park rangers arrested three people for public intoxication and issued 36 citations for open alcohol containers, underage possession of alcohol, possession of a control substance, speeding, littering, and failure to wear a seatbelt. During this two-week period, park rangers conducted two sobriety checkpoints.
In 2010, 75 drivers were arrested for DUI in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. 11 of those intoxicated drivers were involved in some type of car accident. Since alcohol can inhibit a driver’s judgment, the Knoxville auto accident attorneys at Nahon, Saharovich, and Trotz (“NST Law”) encourage all drivers in Tennessee to think before they drink and drive. If you have been injured by a drunk driver, call the Knox County auto accident attorneys at NST Law at 865-684-1000 or 1-800-LAW-4004 to see if you may be entitled to compensation from a defendant driver or insurance company.
Driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol is against the law in Tennessee, and at Nahon, Saharovich, and Trotz, our auto accident attorneys know how to prove a driver was in violation of the law at the time of an accident. For example, NST lawyers can retain a toxicologist to prove alcohol or drugs were in a driver’s body at the time of the accident. By proving negligence, NST lawyers can help clients obtain maximum compensation for medical bills, lost wages, permanent disability, and pain and suffering by consulting with experts to compute damages. For instance, NST lawyers can retain medical experts to document current and future medical bills. Also, NST lawyers can consult with vocational economists to compute a victim’s lost wages or diminished future earning capacity. If a victim sustains injuries that render him permanently disabled, NST lawyers can commission a day-in-the-life video that illustrates how the injuries inhibit his ability to perform routine tasks. If a defendant driver has been convicted of DUI, a victim may be eligible to recover punitive damages. Punitive damages are designed to punish the defendant driver and deter members of the public from engaging in certain egregious conduct, such as driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. NST lawyers understand Tennessee punitive damages laws and can apply them to the unique facts of a victim’s case. With these resources at our disposal, you can feel confident NST Law will do everything to fight for you to recover every dollar you are legally entitled to.

According to the Jackson Sun, a man was struck by a tractor-trailer and killed near Brownsville, Tennessee, on July 24, 2011. The accident occurred on Interstate 40 near mile marker 66. The Tennessee Highway Patrol reported the deceased had parked his car in an emergency lane, turned on his flashers, and stood outside of the vehicle. The Tennessee Highway Patrol accident report said the semi-truck driver crashed directly into the man, killing him.

In a big rig accident lawsuit, NST lawyers can retain trucking experts to examine a driver’s logbook, interpret a drug test, or inspect the safety features of a truck to prove a truck driver’s negligence. NST lawyers may also prove a truck driver’s negligence by speaking to accident witnesses, Tennessee Highway Patrol officials, or local police officers.
By proving negligence, NST lawyers can help clients recover maximum compensation for losing a loved one. For instance, if the primary income earner of a household is killed in a trucking accident, NST lawyers can retain a vocational economist to compute the deceased’s future loss of income. If the victim requires medical care between the accident and his or her death, NST lawyers can retain medical experts to document any medical expenses incurred, including, but not limited to, hospital bills, medication expenses, and surgery costs.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, a California jury recently awarded $29.2 million dollars to surviving victims of a 2006 car crash that killed two children. A man drove his SUV across the centerline of a highway and crashed head-on into the victims’ Toyota. Police said the SUV driver was traveling 65 to 80 miles per hour in a 55 miles per hour zone. Two of the children in the Toyota were killed. A third child was paralyzed from the waist down. An adult in the Toyota was hospitalized for over two months with multiple fractures. The jury found the driver to be negligent as well as the state because it failed to install a barrier or make improvements on the highway, which had been the scene of many fatal accidents in the past.
