Nashville Auto Accident Attorney Takes A Look At A Double Pedestrian Fatal Tractor-Trailer Collision
Pedestrian Fatality
I have often written about the need to hire an experienced Nashville automobile accident if you are the victim of what appears on first glance to be the result of a negligent driver. In order to be compensated for your lost, both for property damage and personal injury you have to show two things, that the driver of the other car was negligent and the negligence was the cause of your loss.
The job of an experienced Tennessee car crash lawyer is to prove exactly that. Some cases are easy to prove while others maybe not so easy. Reference a recent collision in which two Pikeville Kentucky pedestrians were walking along, minding their own business when they were run down and killed by an out of control tractor-trailer truck.
According to a report on the website of WYMI-TV The driver turned the truck to avoid hitting a building and hit the pedestrians instead. According to police, after an initial investigation they determined that the problem was caused by a mechanical failure in the truck itself. At first glance it might appear to a lay person that it wasn’t the driver’s fault. He did the best he could but the trucks failure made it impossible for his to prevent hitting the pedestrians.
An experienced Nashville automobile accident lawyer would look at the situation through a different pair of glasses, finding out whether there was, in fact, a mechanical failure. Was the mechanical problem known to the driver and or the trucking company and had they made reasonable attempts to repair the problem. They would determine whether the truck had been properly maintained.
