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. At Phillip Miller & Associates we can help you.

Hit & Run Driver

When a Tennessee driver is involved in an automobile accident the law requires that he stay at the scene until released by emergency responders. An Elizabethton man was involved in a serious auto accident that left his passenger in critical condition and he ran off leaving his friend to fend for himself. He was speeding and driving at 1 AM without headlights. The passenger had not buckled in his seat belt.

The next day he turned himself in to authorities who charged him with aggravated assault, felony reckless endangerment and leaving the scene of an accident involving death or injury.

The majority of cases of Hit & Run involve someone is a car hitting a pedestrian. This man added a different twist. 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.

Most Hit & Run Drivers Are Intoxicated

As an experienced Tennessee automobile accident attorney, no matter how much care we put into our driving there are always those people out there who should never be allowed behind the wheel of a motor vehicle. Reference a Hit & Run case out of Murfreesboro, Tennessee last weekend in which the victim was sitting at a stop light on Middle Tennessee Blvd. when a drunk driver slammed into her driver side door and rolled her car on it’s side. The driver fled the scene.

Witnesses reported a description of the vehicle to the authorities and yesterday Rutherford County Sheriff Department officers arrested Kyle Hendrix who admitted that he was involved in the crash and investigators believe he was intoxicated at the time.

For readers of my Blog you know how I feel about Hit & Run drivers. For those of you who are not familiar with “The Tennessee Auto Accident Attorney” Blog I’ll say it again. As an experienced Nashville automobile accident lawyer, 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.

This past week I have Blogged about a young Nashville woman who was hit by a car and left to die by the side of the road. Fortunately for this woman witnesses immediately contacted emergency services and she was at the hospital getting medical care within a short time. Yesterday her family made the heartbreaking decision to take her off life support. My prayers go out to the family and friends of this young woman.

Fortunately for the family and the police investigators shortly after the collision the passenger of the Hit & Run driver returned to the scene and gave a complete statement to investigators. The driver and passenger had been drinking. Charges are pending the results of forensic tests conducted on the vehicle.

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.

A Nashville mother (48) and her daughter (17) were struck by a Hit & Run driver as they walked along Harding Place in South Nashville. The mother is in critical condition and the daughter was treated and released. My prayers for a speedy and complete recovery go out to the unfortunate victim of this criminal act. A citizen contacted police and as a result of that call a vehicle has been impounded and is undergoing forensics test. Criminal charges are pending.

Hit & Run DUI Leaves Woman In Critical Condition

When you are driving under the influence of alcohol you are putting the lives of other people in jeopardy as well as your own. Studies out the ying-yang describe why it is that people drive drunk, in addition to hundreds of studies about how these drivers are impaired and their ability to drive is greatly diminished, but the question remains, how do we stop the carnage?

Reference an incident in Clarksville, Tennessee, the home of the giant Army base, Fort Campbell. A 25-year-old soldier at the Fort, driving an SUV, crashed into a woman at an interstate exit. He initially made the correct decision by calling 911 and waiting at the scene. Emergency responders arrived at the scene and while they were attending to the critically injured woman, fear, or stupidity took hold and the soldier fled the scene only to be captured a short time later by Montgomery County Sheriffs Deputies. He has been charged with DUI, felony evasion, and failure to use caution. If the victim dies police say, he will likely be charged with vehicular homicide.

My prayers go out to the victim and her family and friends and I’ve said a special prayer for this young man whose actions have negatively impacted so many lives.

Reference a recent H&R in Clarksville, and the driver, you guessed it, didn’t have a driver’s valid license, ran out of control and hit the porch of a home knocking a 2-year-old boy to the ground. The young man is going to recover. After hitting the porch the woman raced away from the scene, striking a pickup truck and another trailer before speeding away from the scene. The driver was arrested a short time later for leaving the scene of an accident, both property damage and personal injury; driving on a suspended license; and failure to show proof of insurance.

Ejected Driver Fatality

This tragic Nashville automobile accident started when a Nashville woman was driving along I-24 when she for some reason lost control of her car hit a guardrail. She was not wearing her seat belt and as a result she was ejected from the car and onto the roadway where she was hit by a another car. A patrol officer saw the situation unfold and stopped to render aide. The officer saw the other vehicle stop and he focused his attention on the mortally injured woman. He called for help secured the scene and then went to talk with the driver of the other car. That driver had left the scene.

Chances are that the driver of the Hit & Run car would have faced no charges for the accident, but under the circumstances a warrant has been issued for fleeing the scene of a personal injury accident.

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.

If you or someone you knows a person with a blue Mustang in the 2000 to 2004 vintage ask them if they might have been the one the police are looking for. If you suspect that you know the person contact the Nashville Police Department with your information.

Every time I read about a Hit & Run fatality my blood boils thinking about what kind of person leaves another human being lying in the street to die alone. A recent article reporting little in the way of facts, simply says that a 59-year-old Kentucky man died after being struck by a vehicle. How sad is that? My prayers go out to the man’s family and friends.

No matter how much care we put into our driving there are always those people out there who should never be allowed behind the wheel of a motor vehicle. I’m going to blog today about one of them today. Please pardon me if my tone is angry, but people like Jarod Joel Moon get my dander up. As an experienced Nashville automobile accident lawyer I study dozens of really outrageous car accidents but Hit & Run’s involving a child is not an accident but an intentional assault and should be treated as such.

Reference a recent article on the web site of WRCB TV reporting that 20-year-old Mr. Moon is now in jail charged with leaving the scene of an accident, reckless driving and illegally passing a school bus. I’m looking forward to more serious charges as the investigation is concluded. It appears Mr. Moon ignored the stop sign warnings on the school bus in front of him. He sped around the school; bus and hit an elementary school student. The student suffered head and mouth injuries and is in stable condition.

If the hitting wasn’t bad enough this jerk decides to leave the scene, but his attempt was frustrated by quick thinking law enforcement personnel. Mr. Moon would probably take his place as a contender for the Worst Tennessee Driver of 2010 except that the accident occurred in Alabama just south of the Tennessee line.
