Nashville Automobile Accident Lawyer Reviews The Case Of a Drunk Hit & Run Driver
Hit & Run Fatality
It was probably not the time or place to be walking along rural US Highway 84 at 3:30 AM but Ms. Damita Law, 47, of Malcolm Alabama was doing just that when she was hit and killed by a passing pick-up truck driven by 19-year-old Ezekiel Lewis. My prayers go out to Ms. Law’s family and friends. As an experienced Tennessee automobile accident attorney, I’ve dealt with dozens of Hit & Run cases and they always leave me shaking my head in sadness.
According to the report on the website of WRBC-TV in Chattanooga, Mr. Lewis left the scene of the fatal accident. He left this poor woman to die alone in a ditch. Troopers investigating the death say that they believed that alcohol and speed played a role in this horrible situation.
Hit & Run drivers are, in my consideration, the worst kind of human being. Most H&R drivers are under the influence of alcohol, others have already run afoul of the law and have lost their driving privileges, yet they continue to get behind the wheel and ignore the rules.
Many H&R drivers are trying to avoid detection because they don’t have insurance and they don’t want to face the responsibility for their actions. No matter which category they fall into they are the very worst type of person, someone who will leave an injured or dying pedestrian lying in the street.
