Tennessee Automobile Accident Lawyer Reports On a Distracted Driving Fatality
Distracted Driving Fatality
We will probably never know what caused a 23-year-old Clarksville woman to pull out directly into the path of an oncoming Tractor-trailer. She was most probably distracted by something, a cell phone, radio, GPS for a second or two and simply pulled out without looking. Such a tragic way to die.
As an experienced Nashville automobile accident attorney I am acutely aware that driver inattention is the leading factor in most crashes. Nearly 80 percent of crashes and 65 percent of near-crashes involved some form of driver inattention within three seconds before the event. Primary causes of driver inattention are distracting activities, such as cell phone use, and drowsiness.
We will also never know why she didn’t take the time to buckle up her seat belt. The outcome of this tragic accident might have had a different ending if she had. Tennessee law requires the use of seat belts. An overwhelming number of studies show that seat belts, when used correctly, save lives.
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.
