Why Was The Church Van Speeding?

A recent accident in East Tennessee points clearly to the reason why you need an experienced Tennessee auto accident lawyer if you are involved in a Tennessee motor vehicle accident. Why was the driver of a church van full of people speeding and running a stop sign moments before he crashed leaving 14 people injured?

Why was the registration on the church van expired and who was responsible for keeping it up-to-date? Why was the van driver not wearing his seatbelt? So many questions exist about liability and compensation that if one of the injured parties seeks compensation for injuries they better contact one of the experienced Tennessee automobile accident attorneys at Phillip Miller & Associates.

No Seat Belts Spell Disaster

As an experienced Tennessee automobile accident attorney I often hear, following a fatal accident, “what if”. What if he hadn’t driven after drinking? What if she had not been in that exact place on the highway at that particular time? The “what if” that I hear the most these days is “what if” he had taken a second and fastened his seatbelt?

Reference an article on the website of WBIR TV in Knoxville Tennessee about a Greene County man, another victim in the epidemic of Tennessee roadway departure crash fatalities, who was driving along when a 22-year-old woman going the other direction drifted across the centerline and struck his car head-on.

The drifting driver was wearing her seat belt but not  so for our victim. The investigating Trooper said he believed that the outcome would have been different if he had been wearing his seat belt. Seat belts are required by Tennessee Law. These can help save you and your passengers’ lives in the event of a traffic crash.  My prayers go out to the deceased, his family and friends, who will still be left asking themselves “what if”.
