Justice Comes

As an experienced Tennessee automobile accident lawyer I have railed in this Blog about Hit & Run drivers. 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 fellow human being lying in the street.

Nearly 18 months ago I wrote about a fatal Hit & Run collision in West Tennessee. The case against this low-down skunk went cold until recently. The victim’s family received an anonymous tip as to the name of the driver. South Fulton Police and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation instituted an investigation and announced just the other day, the arrest of a 50-year-old South Fulton man on the charge of leaving the scene of an accident involving a death, a Class E felony.

I’m not sure what motivated the anonymous caller but my hats off to that person. If you or a loved one is injured or killed by a drunk hit & run driver recovering damages for your loss can be a tricky proposition and you will need an experienced Nashville automobile accident attorney to help you protect your rights.

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.
