Failure To Yield Lands Tennessee Judge In Hospital

Failur To Yield

Failur To Yield

According to the Tennessee Rules of the Road when a vehicle is turning across oncoming traffic that driver must yield to oncoming traffic before turning.   Reference a recent traffic accident in Sullivan County Tennessee in which a local judge was attempting to make a left turn into a Burger Chef restaurant. He didn’t see an oncoming which T-boned him causing his vehicle to overturn. The judge was hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries and was ticketed for failure to yield the right of way.

Before a driver turns across traffic it is his/her duty to make sure that the coast is clear. Investigators here will have to determine why the Judge failed to see the oncoming car. Was he distracted by something? Was he using his cell phone as he turned?

If you or someone you love has been hurt in a serious Tennessee car accident due to somebody else’s negligence, then you may be feeling angry, frightened, or even alone in your suffering.

There is no reason for you to bear your burden alone.  The experience of a Tennessee auto accident is traumatic enough and your recovery will bring its own challenges.  You don’t need the added stress of worrying about who will pay for the medical care you need, how your car will be repaired, and if the individuals responsible for your suffering will be brought to justice.  This is the time to call Phillip Miller & Associates, the law firm of local Tennessee attorneys and staff who for the past 25 years have dedicated their lives to protecting the rights of injured men, women, and children in Tennessee.
