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 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.

If you or a loved one is injured or killed by a Hit & Run driver in a Tennessee automobile accident contact the experienced Nashville car crash lawyers at Phillip Miller & Associates and take advantage of a free consultation to determine how you want to proceed.

Nashville is now officially the 2nd least pedestrian friendly city in the U.S.A., and there’s nothing funny about it. Annually more than 4500 pedestrians are killed and more than 70,000 injured. It’s not always the fault of the driver – but often enough the driver shares at least some of the blame.  Children are at the greatest risk, but anyone can be a victim when drivers are inattentive. The most common circumstances for pedestrian injuries are:  people/children crossing the street in mid-block, vehicles turning into the path of someone who is crossing the street, a pedestrian stepping into the street from behind a parked vehicle, and vehicles backing up without looking.
