In Tennessee, drivers are responsible for following the law while operating motor vehicles. These laws include following the speed limit, driving in the proper lane, and driving in the proper direction. When a driver violates Tennessee law, that driver may be considered negligent and can be held responsible any resulting damages. In order to recover maximum compensation in a Tennessee car accident case, a plaintiff may have to prove a defendant driver was negligent at the time of the accident.
The Tennessee auto accident attorneys at Nahon, Saharovich, and Trotz (“NST Law”) know how to prove a driver’s negligence. For example, your NST lawyer can examine an accident report and ask to speak with the law enforcement officials who investigated the crash. Your NST lawyer may also speak with key witnesses. Further, your NST lawyer can hire an accident reconstruction expert to determine liability. If an investigation is not conducted in a timely fashion, key evidence may be lost forever. To speak to a Memphis car accident attorney at NST Law, call 901-683-7000 or 1-800-LAW-4004 today.
At NST Law, we fight for our clients to recover maximum compensation for injuries sustained in their car accidents. NST Law can help victims recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, permanent disability, and pain and suffering by utilizing the services of various experts. For example, NST Law can retain medical experts to clearly explain your injuries to a defendant or jury. These experts can also document past medical bills and project future medical expenses you may require as part of the recovery process, such as surgeries, physical therapy, medication, and doctor’s visits. NST Law may also consult with vocational economists to compute lost wages or diminished earning potential if injuries sustained in a crash hinder your ability to fully perform your job. For auto accident cases involving permanent and debilitating injuries, NST Law may commission a day-in-the-life video to illustrate how the injuries caused by the crash affect your daily life and ability to perform routine tasks and bodily functions. Further, NST lawyers can aggressively pursue damages for the pain, grief, and emotional distress you suffer as a result of being involved in the accident.

According to the Memphis Commercial Appeal, a 32-year-old man from Memphis, Tennessee, has been charged with vehicular homicide, reckless driving, and driving under the influence (“DUI”) for his role in a car accident on July 17, 2011. The wreck occurred on Interstate 40 in Memphis. The man rear-ended a car while entering Interstate 40 from Appling Road. The driver of the car he hit was taken to the Regional Medical Center and later passed away. The driver who caused the wreck was taken to Saint Francis Hospital but did not sustain any injuries.
The Tennessee auto accident attorneys at Nahon, Saharovich, and Trotz (“NST Law”) understand the dangers of drunk driving and realize how a fatal car accident can destroy a family. Nahon, Saharovich, and Trotz fights for families of fatal car crash victims to recover the maximum compensation they deserve in their case. For example, it is not uncommon for an auto accident victim to be transported to a hospital and remain there for days or weeks in critical condition before passing away. Further, the deceased’s income can quickly disappear, leaving a family responsible for finding other ways to obtain financial support. If a loved one has been killed in a car accident on Interstate 40, Interstate 240, Interstate 55, or anywhere in Shelby County, NST Law can fight for you recover the compensation you deserve for medical bills, pain and suffering, and lost wages.

By handling fatal car crash cases in Memphis for over twenty years, NST Law has developed relationships with numerous experts that can prove how a client suffers as a result of a car accident. These experts, including medical professionals, vocational economists, and psychiatric doctors, can compute these damages in dollar figures and then explain those figures to a judge or jury. For instance, medical experts can document any medical bills a deceased incurred between the crash and her death. Vocational economists, familiar with the deceased’s occupation and industry, can forecast the income the deceased would have likely earned had her life not been ended prematurely in the car accident. Psychiatric experts can determine the extent of pain and emotional distress a family member suffers after losing a loved one. In addition to pursuing damages for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering, NST Law may seek punitive damages if the defendant driver has been convicted of DUI. Tennessee courts typically award punitive damages to discourage members of the community from driving drunk.

The driver was charged with driving under the influence (“DUI”), reckless driving, and leaving the scene of an accident involving injuries.

According to Tennessee Highway Patrol Colonel Tracy Trott, the number of people killed in fatal car crashes in Tennessee for the first half of 2011 is less than the number killed during the first half of 2010. From January 1, 2011, through June 30, 2011, 440 people have died in Tennessee car crashes, down from 517 fatalities during those dates in 2010. While fewer motorists have been killed, more have been arrested for driving under the influence (“DUI”). In the first half of 2011, Tennessee law enforcement officials have arrested 2132 Tennesseans for DUI compared to 1631 in 2010, an increase of 30.7%. Trott says there is a “direct correlation between the Tennessee Highway Patrol’s increased efforts to crack down on drunk drivers and the number of people killed in motor vehicle accidents on [Tennessee] roadways.”
Recently, law enforcement agencies across Tennessee have increased efforts to keep our streets and highways safe. For example, roadblocks are often set up to catch drivers who speed and drive under the influence. These roadblocks also deter drivers from engaging in that type of behavior. Unfortunately, however, drivers still get behind the wheel after consuming alcohol and put others in harm’s way. Scientific studies have proven the negative effects alcohol has on a driver. A driver’s judgment becomes impaired. In addition, a driver’s reaction times become slower. If you have lost a loved one in a car accident in Shelby County, call the Memphis auto accident attorneys at Nahon, Saharovich, and Trotz (“NST Law”) at 901-683-7000 or 1-800-LAW-4004.

According to the Associated Press, an East Tennessee man was charged with driving under the influence (“DUI”) after crashing into two bicyclists in Newport, Tennessee, on July 12, 2011. One bicyclist died in the crash and the other suffered minor injuries. The Tennessee Highway Patrol accident report stated the driver had been drinking alcohol prior to causing the crash. Police say additional charges may be filed against the driver.
Bicycle accidents can produce devastating results. A rider’s helmet and protective gear may not protect him from the impact of a moving car or truck.

NST lawyers can also retain medical and economic experts to document medical bills incurred by the deceased, such as surgeries, CT scans, and X-rays.

According to Clarksville Online, a 21-year-old motorcyclist remains in critical condition at Vanderbilt University Medical Center following a car accident with a 29-year-old motorist in Clarksville, Tennessee, on July 5, 2011. While making a left turn out of Man-of-War Road, the motorist crossed the eastbound lanes of Tiny Town Road, directly into the path of the oncoming motorcyclist. The motorcyclist tried to avoid the collision but crashed into the motorist. The motorcyclist was thrown from his bike and sustained multiple injuries to his head and body. The motorist was cited for Failure to Yield.
Even if you are fortunate to survive a motorcycle accident in Memphis or Shelby County, you can suffer debilitating injuries, such as head trauma, spinal cord injury, neck injury, amputation, paraplegia, or quadriplegia.

Under Tennessee law, you may be entitled to “compensatory damages” if you sustain injuries due to another driver’s negligence. Compensatory damages are designed to put you in the position you would have been if the motorcycle accident never happened. These damages can include compensation to cover your past and future medical expenses, pain and suffering, permanent disability, and lost wages. “Economic damages” may also be awarded, including future lost earnings resulting from your decrease in earning capacity. Your spouse may also recover for “loss of consortium” under Tennessee motorcycle accident law. This term literally means “loss of services” from a spouse and is awarded to compensate the spouse of the person injured in an accident for the impact on their marital relationship.

According to WRCB Chattanooga, a handyman was injured in a car accident in Hamilton County, Tennessee, on July 4, 2011. The crash occurred on Old Lee Highway.

According to the New York Times, Syracuse, New York, and Hartford, Connecticut, have had success reducing distracted driving. Over the past 12 months, those cities have issued nearly 20,000 tickets for illegal use of a cell phone while driving, which includes texting while driving. In addition to stepping up law enforcement, the cities launched high-profile education campaigns that illustrate the dangers of distracted driving, such as wrongful death. The results have been noticeable, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”). In Syracuse, handheld cell phone use and texting while driving have decreased 33%. In Hartford, handheld cell phone use has decreased 57% while texting has decreased 75%. NHTSA Secretary Ray LaHood said these results demonstrate that “strong laws, combined with highly visible police enforcement, can significantly reduce dangerous texting and cell phone use behind the wheel.”
Distracted driving is dangerous. In 2009, 20% of car crashes in the United States involved some form of distracted driving. As technology improves, it is natural for cell phone use to increase while driving. Drivers may use cell phones to talk, text, send e-mails, surf the Internet, or search for directions by GPS. If you have been hit by a distracted driver, call the Memphis auto accident attorneys at Nahon, Saharovich, and Trotz (“NST Law”) at 901-683-7000 or 1-800-LAW-4004.
